Can I Use Xcode and iPadOS 18? (and RealityView)

I'm preparing my submission for the Swift Student Challenge, and I have a couple of questions regarding the development environment.

  • Is it allowed to use Xcode to program my scene, or do I have to use Swift Playgrounds?
  • Can I use iPadOS 18 for development? I noticed that Swift Playgrounds currently only supports up to iPadOS 17.5, but I would like to use RealityView, which is only available starting from iPadOS 18.

I appreciate any clarification on this. Thanks in advance!

Yes. This is called out in the fine print.

The latest release of Swift Playground includes the iOS 18 SDK, and you can expect your app to be run on iPadOS 18 (or its simulator, if you’re use Xcode).
