Hello,

I am having a recurring issue using Swift Playgrounds version 4.6.4 on macOS 26.1.

Upon opening a file and every other time I start typing in the code section I get a prompt, the image below, two or three times. It doesn't matter if I accept or decline all or some of the prompts, as soon as I start typing on another line I get prompted another two or three times for permission.

It appears to me that prompt generates every time the preview pane tries to update. Declining the prompt breaks the preview but accepting the prompt only gets you through a single line of code before it appears again.

I believe this issue started after I updated to macOS26.1 as I had not encountered it before. I've also opened other files with Swift Playgrounds and encounter the same problem.

It could also be unrelated to the update and could be an issue with some permission setting somewhere, however, I have been unable to find what or where it could be.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thank you for your time :)

I am experiencing the same issue as you are. I granted Swift Playground full disk access as an online article suggested and restarted the app. But the problem persists.

Is there a bug report for this / do you know if its being addressed soon (MacOS 26.2) ??

I’ve seen a bunch of forums threads about this but no one on those threads has posted a bug number. Without that, it’s hard to say anything about this issue. I recommend that you file your own bug about it.

Please post your bug number, just for the record.

Thanks for those bug numbers. Using those, and some other spelunking, I was able to track down the ‘root’ bug for this (r. 164272589).

Unfortunately I don’t have any info to share as to when this will be fixed, or any sort of workaround )-:
