IOS 18 SDK not available in Swift Playgrounds for IPad

I updated my iPad to iOS 18, but when I went into Swift Playgrounds it only had the iOS 17 SDK. 

Maybe it has to with the fact that I’m on an iPad 9th Gen and it doesn’t have the Apple intelligence features so it can’t run the AI features.

I’m just wondering if I will be getting the new SwiftUI features such as the new [TabBar](https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2024/10147/) or [MeshGradients.](https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2024/10151/?time=381)

Sorry I messed up my writing because I put paragraph indents.

Got the update today but disappointed that it doesn't have a dark mode icon on iPad. Apple should lead by example and use the latest features in their first party apps.

I guess we will have to wait a few more months for that similar to the App Store Connect and TestFlight apps...
