Does anyone know how I can make a .swiftpm zip file because that's what Apple requires to submit to the swift student challenge? Any help would be great.
How to make a .swiftpm zip file
Just create the app in Playgrounds app.
That will create a pm file. It is in the cloud.
So, in the file menu, select Share > Mail
You will get the file that you can copy on your desktop.

You can use the App template in the Playgrounds app on the iPad or Mac. That creates a swiftpm file.
Alternatively, you can also use Xcode: Create a New Xcode Project > Under the iOS category, choose the 'App Playground' template.
Hope this helps!
