Which device is used to test Swift Student Challenge submissions?

Hi there, I intend to submit an app playground for the Swift Student Challenge this year. I am currently using the Swift Playgrounds app to develop a playground. Now I understand that when submitting I can choose the option of having my app playground to be tested on Swift Playgrounds on either iPadOS or macOS. But I would also like to know on which screen size is my app going to be tested.

Let's say I want my app playground to run on macOS, now is there a way to also select the MacBook model, like 14-inch or 16-inch? This would give the participants a better idea of where the app playground will be tested.

No idea on that, but, I'd say that, generally, it's a good idea to support both in terms of screen size. And SwiftUI makes it really easy to do so. Plus, the form states that Xcode submissions will be tested in Simulator.

I understand that views can be scaled based on screen size in SwiftUI but I am concerned about scaling background images as their resolution gets affected.

Also this time I noticed that the submission form only gives two options to run the app playground - Xcode and Swift Playgrounds, so if I select Swift Playgrounds, will the playground be tested on iPad or a Mac?
