Swift 6

Just learning Swift and I noticed that Apple's example code on the Swift homepage does not compile in playground! I mean really, am I missing something?https://developer.apple.com/swift/extension String { var banana : String { let shortName = String(dropFirst(characters)) return (self) (self) Bo B(shortName) Banana Fana Fo F(shortName) } } let bananaName = Jimmy.bananaI changed line 03 to: { let shortName = String(dropFirst(self))This seems to work. I tried to find feedback and let them know, but there seems to be no place for developers to provide simple feedback.

Hello everyone,Has anyone figured out a way to subclass NSNotification using Swift? I've done this in the past with Objective-C, but haven't figured out how to accomplish this with the rules for initializers in Swift. I realize there are alternatives to subclassing, but I'd really like to figure out how to do this. Here is a simplified version of what I'm attempting to do:class MyNotification: NSNotification { var someCustomData: String = override var name: String { return } override var object: AnyObject? { return nil } override var userInfo: [NSObject: AnyObject]? { return nil } required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) { super.init(coder: aDecoder) } init(someCustomData: String) { // Compiler wants me to call super.init, but this causes // issues since NSNotification is a class cluster. } }If I try calling super.init or using one of the NSNotification initializers when I instantiate an instance of MyNotification, I get this error:*** initialization method -initWithName:object:userInfo: ca

Have tried 5 or 6 times now it install the beta package for 1474 on two diffrent computers. Each time the install freezes after about 10% and itunes pops and error code 14. I have tried diffrent cables and ports with no luck so far. I have tried redownloading the package to insure it wasnt corrupted but still no luck. It restores to 8.3 from both computers without trouble. I am unsure what to do from here. Has anyone else come across this and resolved it? Any suggestions as to what to try next? Your help is appreciated.

I think I've got my Connectivity stuff set up properly, was going off the Lister sample app. But, every time I try to send stuff via WCSession, it fails. Here's the code:// iOS App, in my ViewController override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() if WCSession.isSupported() { WCSession.defaultSession().delegate = self WCSession.defaultSession().activateSession() } } func session(session: WCSession, didReceiveMessage message: [String : AnyObject]) { let msg = message[message] as! String print(Got message! (msg)) } // -------------- // WatchKit Extension - WKInterfaceController subclass @IBAction func buttonTapped() { let session = WCSession.defaultSession() print(Session is reachable: (session.reachable)) // this is false let msg = [message: derp derp derp] session.sendMessage(msg, replyHandler: { reply in print(Got reply: (reply)) }, errorHandler: { error in print(error: (error)) }) }The error in the errorHandler reads Error Domain=WCErrorDomain Code=7004 The operation couldn’t be completed.

Updated an app to iOS 9 / Swift 2 / watchOS 2 and since then, Xcode claims it can't find my embedded framework when building the watchOS extension. It has no issues finding it for my iOS app and the build settings look ok - the framework is showing as a dependency... but yeah, no dice. Tried cleaning and nuking Derived Data.Any ideas?
