I am building an app playground for SSC'25 where I want to use Multipeer Connectivity framework that would allow me to send and receive data to and from stranger devices. I also want to use some other open-source packages for some of the features. I just wanted to know if we are allowed to use or not?

I intend to participate in the Swift Student Challenge 25. I see Rules, It is mentioned that Playgrounds works should be a work that can be experienced in three minutes. However, my work does not meet this requirement. Create an interactive scene in an app playground that can be experienced within three minutes. Initially, my work was not intended for the Challenge but for the App Store. However, I decided to submit it to the Challenge, and my work and I met the requirements of the Challenge. Therefore, my work is a complete application, which makes it impossible for the judges to experience it within three minutes. It may take more time. Does this have any impact?

I just wonder if it’s possible to add push notifications to an app made it Swift Playgrounds or if it always has to be exported to XCode first

In an App Playground Xcode project there is no Targets menu in the UI, When I try use the model, it says the model is not in scope. When I did it in a regular project it automatically generated a Swift Class and had no erorrs because it had a target but I see no place to add a target on an App playground.

I am trying to run TinyLlama directly using Swift Playgrounds for iOS. I have tried multiple solutions, like libraries (LLM.swift, swift-transformers, ...) which never worked due to import issues, and also tried importing an exported mlmodel. For the later, I followed the article about Llama 3.1 on CoreML. It was hard to understand how to do the inference with it, but I was able to export a mlpackage, that I then placed in a xcode project to generate the mlmodelc (compiled model) and the model class. I had to go with the first version described in the article, without optimizations, as I got errors during model loading with the flexible input shapes. I was able to run the model for one token generation. But my biggest problem is that, though the mlmodelc is only 550 MiB, th model loads 24+GiB of memory, largely exceeding what I can have on an iOS device. Is there a way to use do LLM inferences on Swift Playgrounds at a reasonable speed (even 1 token / s would be sufficient)?

I am having issues with exported playgrounds from Xcode, when I try to open my exported swift fill I get the following message: "Couldn't load settings from contents.xcplayground" Xcode Version: Version 16.2 (16C5032a) Steps to reproduce Create new playground in Xcode. File->Export Open exported file. The issue still press persist after reinstalling Xcode.

Hey there- I'm having a quite interesting bug on Swift Playgrounds. I am trying to run my app with this following code snippet which does not compile on Swift Playgrounds, yet compiles on XCode (note: this is a Swift Playground app) if #available(iOS 18.0, *) { //simple function to get the indices of other items that have the same date as the "date" variable let indices = data!.indices(where: { item in let sameMonth = Calendar.current.component(.month, from: item.time) == Calendar.current.component(.month, from: date) let sameYear = Calendar.current.component(.year, from: item.time) == Calendar.current.component(.year, from: date) let sameDay = Calendar.current.component(.day, from: item.time) == Calendar.current.component(.year, from: date) return sameDay && sameMonth && sameYear }) However, the indices(where:) codeblock seems to stop the app from compiling (ONLY on Swift Playgrounds - it works perfectly fine on XCode). I am getting the following error: Cannot call value of non-function type 'Range<Array<Int>.Index>' (aka 'Range<Int>') Please let me know if you have any insight regarding this issue. -ColoredOwl

Trying to add a Reality Composer Pro project into my swift playground application. Can't figure out what name to call for the package.

I keep trying to use the app but every time I try to click the module "get started with code" it crashes and produces an error log, attached. Crash log

I want to compare the colors of two model entities (spheres). How can i do it? The method i'm currently trying to apply is as follows case let .color(controlColor) = controlMaterial.baseColor, controlColor == .green { // Flip target sphere colour if let targetMaterial = targetsphere.model?.materials.first as? SimpleMaterial, case let .color(targetColor) = targetMaterial.baseColor, targetColor == .blue { targetsphere.model?.materials = [SimpleMaterial(color: .green, isMetallic: false)] // Change to |1⟩ } else { targetsphere.model?.materials = [SimpleMaterial(color: .blue, isMetallic: false)] // Change to |0⟩ } } This method (baseColor) was deprecated in swift 15.0 changes to 'color' but i cannot compare the value color to each other.👾

Some reason the image 'Ren' is not being loaded even though it is in the project how can I resolve this issue in Xcode Playgrounds?

Hi, I have recently downloaded the app to start learning how to code in swift and so on. On my first try I have gotten the error stating that ”.swiftpm files cannot be opened”. I have followed some forum posts. I restarted my iPad several times and redown the app several times. I tried to disable the iCloud sync but I think I deleted the iCloud directory entirely that just results in the app closing on any action taken. (such as pressing the “New App” option or choosing the quick actions to make apps). Is there a way to fix this? Any help is appreciate, please ask me to provide any extra needed information.

When I go to the App Settings menu in Swift Playgrounds and attempt to upload to App Store Connect, I run into the below error screen: I am registered with the Apple Developer Program. Swift Playgrounds is updated to its latest version. This is occurring on both macOS and iPadOS. All the information I put in is valid. Any reason why this would be happening?

Have downloaded playgrounds 4.3 to my iPad Air running ipados 16.5. Trying to use playground “Get started with Apps” but receiving message “Unsupported file format Get Started with Apps.swiftpm cannot be opened in Swift Playgrounds”. I do not have Mac or windows PC so am stuck! Help ??

I've entered some code on Version 4.5.1 of Playgrounds on my iPad mini running iOS 18.1.1. The file is saved on iCloud and so is available on my Mac running OS 15.2. However, the file will not open in either Playgrounds v 4.5.1 on the Mac (error "Unable to get file wrapper for contents.xcplayground.") or Xcode 16.1 (error "Couldn't load settings from contents.xcplayground"). The file's type is .playgorund. Any thoughts?

Hi everyone, I've been struggling for a few weeks to integrate my Core ML Image Classifier model into my .swiftpm project, and I’m hoping someone can help. Here’s what I’ve done so far: I converted my .mlmodel file to .mlmodelc manually via the terminal. In my Package.swift file, I tried both "copy" and "process" options for the resource. The issues I’m facing: When using "process", Xcode gives me the error: "multiple resources named 'coremldata.bin' in target 'AppModule'." When using "copy", the app runs, but the model doesn’t work, and the terminal shows: "A valid manifest does not exist at path: .../Manifest.json." I even tried creating a Manifest.json manually to test, but this led to more errors, such as: "File format version must be in the form of major.minor.patch." "Failed to look up root model." To check if the problem was specific to my model, I tested other Core ML models in the same setup, but none of them worked either. I feel stuck and unsure of how to resolve these issues. Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! :)

I am currently developing my submission for the SSC and I noticed that the swift playgrounds app for iOS does not have support for the new swift ui features in iOS 18. Are we allowed to submit apps that use these iOS 18 only features?

I am trying to implement a ML model with Core ML in a playground for a Student Challenge project, but I can not get it to work. I have already tried everything I found online but nothing seems to work (the tutorials where posted long time ago). Anyone knows how to do this with Xcode 15 and the most recent updates?

I’m working in the app playground and want to add my usdz file but when i drag drop the file to my main folder i cannot add target to it which leads to a resource not found error while I build my app. It was working on a normal xcode project but while transitioning to app playground it is not working. How can I fix this issue?

Hi, First post and I am a total newbie when it comes to Ipads & Macs... And also this forum, so sorry if I post in wrong section. My son use Ipad at school and they use Swift Playground there. To be able to do some programming at home, I have set up Vmware with Sequoia 15.1. I installed the app Swift Playground and try to run the playground Get Started with Code and some other education playgrounds. If I understand correctly, it should be some landscape and a figure on the canvas... For me it is only a blue area. I installed XCode, but could not figure out how to run the learning examples there. Tips? Is it possible to run the education playgrounds there? I removed Swift Playgrounds and installed it again, same issue. I also installed IOS 18.1 (?) but I am not sure it is needed. Any suggestion of how I can get contents to show on the canvas? Except of bying an Ipad. ;)
