Swift Student Challenge Devices / Simulator preferred building device

For the SSDC submission, the app playground must run on Swift Playgrounds 4.5+ or Xcode 16+.

Key questions:

  • In Swift Playgrounds, is the app tested on iPadOS or macOS?
  • In Xcode 16+, is the playground tested using Mac Catalyst, an iPad simulator, or an iPhone simulator? The submission form only mentions a simulator but doesn’t specify which one.
  • Can I build an app primarily for iPhone (portrait mode), or is it better to focus on iPad (landscape mode) if that’s the expected testing environment in all cases?
