I am trying to challenge myself by building an iPhone app in Swift Playgrounds. I just got a Mac Mini M4, so I am trying Swift Playgrounds for Mac.
I can submit a build to TestFlight, but it's for Mac and won't let me even test on my iPhone.
How can I build my app for iPhone?
The least "hacky" answer is appreciated, but I'll entertain anything. Examples in order of hackiness might be:
- I missed an option in Playgrounds for Mac.
- Open my playground in Xcode, change something, open back in Playgrounds for Mac.
- Same as above, but maybe I have to add/copy a file (e.g., manifest.plist).
- Open my playground in Playgrounds for iPad (I have an iPad 9), do something, copy back to Playgrounds for Mac.
- Submit via Playgrounds for iPad.
- Submit via Xcode.
BTW, I'm challenging myself not just for its own sake, but because I'm curious how far a student/newbie/etc can take Swift Playgrounds. I was hoping to set a good example for others looking for a lighter-resource, more user-friendly experience than Xcode (which is why I assume Playgrounds for Mac even exists). But right now it feels like Playgrounds for Mac is a … third-class citizen? Maybe the iPad version is second-class? I haven't really tried it.
P.S. Why does this text editor seem so lame? Making a numbered list and adding to it is a nightmare. Should be: start a numbered list, hit return, new number appears below. I'm on Safari. This should be the best dev experience on the planet, not the worst!
