    HI, I'm experimenting with replacing old GameObject by ECS and found the Tiny project. It's really amazing!
    But I stuck with adding UI elements. E.g I added Canvas and Text UI component for displaying FPS. The my hierarchy windows look like this:
    hierarchy.png
    And When I click play it appears in proper place:
    play.png

    But when I build it using DOTS and run it on my Android device the UI text is not appear.
    Is it a way how to make 2D Entities work with old Unity UI?

    Yes. I saw it, but looks like they are using sprites displaying UI elements.
    E.g. they using sprites of numbers to display Lap in TinyRacing

    No, we are not using sprites
    The numbers in Tiny Racing are just quad mesh with unlit material
