Flutter added a very good feature, which is the hot reload I tried it several times but I noticed that it isn't working with everything for example if I changed the background color of the app and perform hot reload the color will change but there are other complex things that hot reload isn't enough for them and I must run the app again to see the changes .So my question is when I make a change in my app how to know if hot reload is enough to see the changes or not ??

Hot reload repaints the whole screen once, so if you change aspects inside of your build()-function they should apply with hot reload, but for example changes in your initState() won't transfer.
So as a general advice, for smaller changes like padding adjustments, color changes etc.(mostly visual changes) a hot reload will be enough, if they don't transfer try hot restart.
If you change the code and it's functions, add new elements etc.(all bigger changes) I would recommend hot restart for safety reasons, it only takes a couple seconds anyways.
