I had several library projects that were working in Swift Playgrounds < 4.6 but I get several duplicate compilation errors and previews will not build in Swift Playgrounds > 4.6. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Example project: This project builds and runs fine under Swift Playgrounds 4.5.1 however it will not run complaining multiple commands produce generated output files under Swift Playgrounds 4.6.1, 4.6.2, and 4.6.3. https://github.com/kudit/Compatibility Download this repository and add the extension ".swiftpm" to the folder and double click to open in Swift Playgrounds. If running on earlier Swift Playgrounds you can see there are no errors and previews work great (on both macOS and iPadOS versions of Swift Playgrounds 4.5.x). However, on Swift Playgrounds 4.6.x, previews will not display. Are embedded libraries not support anymore? This would be very disappointing. I posted this as a Feedback weeks ago with no response: FB16509699

Hello fellow Techies! I am currently doing the Swift Playgrounds “Keep Going with Apps” on my iPad Pro. Everything has been going as designed until I got to the ‘Add and Delete Creatures‘ module. The lesson concludes with being able to add a creature to your list in the CreatureZoo. When you run the app from the playground, you can fill out the fields and tap ‘Add’ and that is when the app dims and after 5 seconds I get the notification that the app has an unknown crash. I have reviewed the lessons leading up to it, but I can’t find anything wrong. (Full Disclosure: I really have no clue what I am looking at some of time.) Has anyone else ran into this? `import SwiftUI import Guide struct CreatureEditor: View { //#-learning-code-snippet(defineVariablesCreatureEditor) //#-learning-code-snippet(environmentValue) @State var newCreature : Creature = Creature(name: "", emoji: "") @EnvironmentObject var data : CreatureZoo @Environment(.dismiss) var dismiss var body: some View { SPCAssessableGroup(view: self) { VStack(alignment: .leading) { Form { Section("Name") { //#-learning-code-snippet(addACreatureEditorTextField) TextField("What is your monster's name?", text: $newCreature.name) } Section("Emoji") { TextField("What does your monster look like?", text: $newCreature.emoji) } Section("Creature Preview") { CreatureRow(creature: newCreature) } } } .toolbar { ToolbarItem { Button("Add") { data.creatures.append(newCreature) dismiss() } } } //#-learning-code-snippet(addButtonToToolbar) } } } struct CreatureEditor_Previews: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { NavigationStack() { CreatureEditor().environmentObject(CreatureZoo()) } } }’

Hello I'm getting this error in my code and I don't know why. Can somebody explain this or point me at a help article. import UIKit var greeting = "Hello, playground" let imageView = UIImageView() imageView.image = UIImage(named: "image") Utils.getImageSize(view: imageView) class Utils { static func getImageSize(view imageView: UIImageView) { let image = imageView.image print("Image size = \(image?.size ?? CGSize.zero)") } } The error is as follows: Cheers Murray

Hello everyone, I’m completely new to programming and Apple development, but I’ve always had the strong wish to learn coding and to work more deeply with Apple’s system structures. My main questions are: How should I best start learning? For example, is Swift Playgrounds the right first step? How should I continue afterwards to gain further knowledge, possibly in areas like system architecture, cybersecurity, or cloud computing (even though I don’t want to commit too early to one direction)? Can you recommend a learning schedule or intensity (e.g., how often per day or week I should practice) for someone who works full-time? Is my current MacBook Air (2020, Intel i3, 8 GB RAM, 250 GB SSD) still suitable for learning and beginner development, or would you recommend upgrading to a newer model? On top of that, my English is not perfect yet – is it possible to improve it alongside learning coding? I’m very motivated to finally start this journey, even though I once turned down an IBM apprenticeship when I was younger. Now I want to give it a real try. Any advice, personal experiences, or learning resources would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Have downloaded playgrounds 4.3 to my iPad Air running ipados 16.5. Trying to use playground “Get started with Apps” but receiving message “Unsupported file format Get Started with Apps.swiftpm cannot be opened in Swift Playgrounds”. I do not have Mac or windows PC so am stuck! Help ??

I am trying to implement a ML model with Core ML in a playground for a Student Challenge project, but I can not get it to work. I have already tried everything I found online but nothing seems to work (the tutorials where posted long time ago). Anyone knows how to do this with Xcode 15 and the most recent updates?

Updated to iOS 18.2 beta 1 as soon as it was released on iPhone 15 pro max. playground icon on Home Screen but been waiting all this time and no activation. Dose anyone know if there is a known fault.

Dare anyone try the following code in any Playground: // Define a model that conforms to Codable struct User: Codable { var name: String var age: Int var email: String? } // JSON data (as a string for demonstration) let jsonString = """ { "name": "John Doe", "age": 30, "email": "john@example.com" } """ // Convert the JSON string to Data if let jsonData = jsonString.data(using: .utf8) { do { // Parse the JSON data into the User model let user = try JSONDecoder().decode(User.self, from: jsonData) print("Name: \(user.name), Age: \(user.age), Email: \(user.email ?? "N/A")") } catch { print("Error decoding JSON: \(error)") } } I tested with Xcode 16.2 and latest 16.3, it reliably crashes the lldb server!
