I am new to coding and trying to print the most basic line of code in Xcode 12 playground and the output doesn’t show up on the right side or bottom of the playground. I’m using the playground from the Apple online book so not sure what I’m doing wrong. Any help is appreciated.

Launch Xcode 12.
Choose File > New > Playground.
Select the macOS tab at the top.
Select Blank.
Click Next and save it to disk.
Replace the text with the print("Hello Cruel World!").
Click the play button at the bottom.
The text should be displayed in the console area at the bottom. If it isn’t, choose View \> Debug Areas \> Activate Console.
