Swift Playground on iPadOS 27

Hello,

Since I upgraded my iPad (iPad Pro 11" 2nd generation / A12z) to iPadOS 27 I have the following issue with SwiftPlayground. The preview no longer works and gets stuck on "Preview paused / Restart to continue". If I click on the refresh button, the button becomes disabled a few seconds but preview still remains on "Preview paused". It is quite easy to reproduce :

  • Start SwiftPlayground
  • Click "New playground"
  • Click "App"
  • When "My App n" appears on playground browser click on it

I already tried to uninstall / reinstall SwiftPlayground and rebooting my iPad but it didn't help.

Thanks for any help

I’m working with some colleagues to try it out.

One of my colleagues was able to reproduce this, so it’s not just you (-: I’ve passed that info along to the folks investigating your bug report (FB24936489).

It is quite easy to reproduce

Given that, I encourage you to file a bug about it. Make sure to include a sysdiagnose log taken shortly after reproducing the issue (if you file the bug using Feedback Assistant on your iPad, it should do that automatically).

Once you’re done, please post your bug number and I’ll do some more digging.

Thanks,

As suggested I created feedback ticket

FB24936489 (Since update to iPadOS27, SwiftPlayground no longer shows its preview pane)

Hope it will help

Thanks.

Honestly, this looks like Just A Bug™, but I’ll do some more research and get back to you.

So we’re not sure what’s going on here, and we’re gonna use your bug (FB24936489) to investigate further.

Sadly, I’m unable to try this myself because none of the iPads I have easy access to are running iPadOS 27 (and I can’t update them for various reasons that I won’t discuss here). I’m working with some colleagues to try it out. However, it’s probably not a widespread issue because, if it were, we’d have seen a lot more complaints. So, yeah, a bit of a mystery right now.

I’m not aware of any workaround. My reading of FB24936489 is that is something that Apple will need to investigate and fix.
