Hi, I have recently downloaded the app to start learning how to code in swift and so on. On my first try I have gotten the error stating that ”.swiftpm files cannot be opened”. I have followed some forum posts. I restarted my iPad several times and redown the app several times. I tried to disable the iCloud sync but I think I deleted the iCloud directory entirely that just results in the app closing on any action taken. (such as pressing the “New App” option or choosing the quick actions to make apps). Is there a way to fix this? Any help is appreciate, please ask me to provide any extra needed information.

Some reason the image 'Ren' is not being loaded even though it is in the project how can I resolve this issue in Xcode Playgrounds?

I’m curious about the situation since the Playgrounds haven’t released a new version to support the numerous new frameworks released this year at WWDC24. How are we supposed to build with these new frameworks if they haven’t even been released for Playgrounds for the Swift Student Challenge?

I've entered some code on Version 4.5.1 of Playgrounds on my iPad mini running iOS 18.1.1. The file is saved on iCloud and so is available on my Mac running OS 15.2. However, the file will not open in either Playgrounds v 4.5.1 on the Mac (error "Unable to get file wrapper for contents.xcplayground.") or Xcode 16.1 (error "Couldn't load settings from contents.xcplayground"). The file's type is .playgorund. Any thoughts?

Here is a relatively simple code fragment: let attributedQuote: [NSAttributedString.Key: Any] = [ .font: FieldFont!, .foregroundColor: NSColor.red] let strQuote = NSAttributedString.init(string:"Hello World", attributes:attributedQuote) strQuote.draw(in: Rect1) It compiles without an issue, bur when I execute it, I get: "*** -colorSpaceName not valid for the NSColor <NSColor: 0x6000005adfd0>; need to first convert colorspace." I have tried everything I can think of. What's going on?

I'm facing an issue with Swift Playgrounds and files created in Xcode 16. It seems that Swift Playgrounds does not support Swift 6, but even when I create files specifically with Swift 5, Swift Playgrounds still reports that the files are unsupported. This creates a significant problem because macOS Sequoia does not allow me to revert to Xcode 15, which might have offered better compatibility. As it stands, I can't find a solution to work seamlessly between Xcode and Swift Playgrounds. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Are there any workarounds or updates planned to address this compatibility gap? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Estará disponible la app Swift para iPhone 15? Will the Swift app for iPhone 15 be available?

I am trying to challenge myself by building an iPhone app in Swift Playgrounds. I just got a Mac Mini M4, so I am trying Swift Playgrounds for Mac. I can submit a build to TestFlight, but it's for Mac and won't let me even test on my iPhone. How can I build my app for iPhone? The least "hacky" answer is appreciated, but I'll entertain anything. Examples in order of hackiness might be: I missed an option in Playgrounds for Mac. Open my playground in Xcode, change something, open back in Playgrounds for Mac. Same as above, but maybe I have to add/copy a file (e.g., manifest.plist). Open my playground in Playgrounds for iPad (I have an iPad 9), do something, copy back to Playgrounds for Mac. Submit via Playgrounds for iPad. Submit via Xcode. BTW, I'm challenging myself not just for its own sake, but because I'm curious how far a student/newbie/etc can take Swift Playgrounds. I was hoping to set a good example for others looking for a lighter-resource, more user-friendly experience than Xcode (which is why I assume Playgrounds for Mac even exists). But right now it feels like Playgrounds for Mac is a … third-class citizen? Maybe the iPad version is second-class? I haven't really tried it. P.S. Why does this text editor seem so lame? Making a numbered list and adding to it is a nightmare. Should be: start a numbered list, hit return, new number appears below. I'm on Safari. This should be the best dev experience on the planet, not the worst!

Can someone help me with this please… I have two apps which I have updated and have just tried uploading them to the Appstore. This troubles me because I am paid up to date… What is the best course of action for me to resolve this please?

Bonjour, a chaque installation de swift playgrounds sur ipad, icloud empeche la sauvegarde et empeche donc d’ouvrir les app. sur icloud drive les fichiers sont present mais a zero ko. par contre les fichiers playgroundsbook fonctionnent. la premiere solution que j’ai ***** etait de desactivé la sauvegarde icloud et ca a fonctionné en local. mais comme je veux mes fichiers sur le icloud drive j’ai tenté une autre approche. j’ai tenté de copié mes fichiers en local sur icloud drive ca ne fonctionne pas. puis j’ai juste fait un drag/drop de fichier app vers le playgrounds. l’app s’ouvre mais n’est pas sauvegardé dans icloud drive. par contre les modifs sont bien enregistrées. enfin j’ai refait la meme approche, une fois l’app ouverte dans playgrounds je l’ai partagé puis enregistré dans icloud. cette fois ci le fichier est pris en compte et fonctionne.

Hi, First post and I am a total newbie when it comes to Ipads & Macs... And also this forum, so sorry if I post in wrong section. My son use Ipad at school and they use Swift Playground there. To be able to do some programming at home, I have set up Vmware with Sequoia 15.1. I installed the app Swift Playground and try to run the playground Get Started with Code and some other education playgrounds. If I understand correctly, it should be some landscape and a figure on the canvas... For me it is only a blue area. I installed XCode, but could not figure out how to run the learning examples there. Tips? Is it possible to run the education playgrounds there? I removed Swift Playgrounds and installed it again, same issue. I also installed IOS 18.1 (?) but I am not sure it is needed. Any suggestion of how I can get contents to show on the canvas? Except of bying an Ipad. ;)

Hi apple I have been stuck for 2 days and it still does not work

Hi Folks! Just started again with playgrounds, and had my "Learn to code 1-2-3" Apps on old versions. Updated 1 and 2 to 5.8, and just found that Learn to code 3 was still on old version (3.1), so decided to delete it. I was hoping that normally I'll just find it where the others are for download (Learn to code & Build Apps), but it is not there.. it is not anywhere, cannot find it, and couldn't find a way to download from anywhere else. Any ideas? Maybe for Learn to code 3 there is no Swift 5.8 yet? Thanks!

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.

When making a new Swift Playground via Xcode > New > Project > iOS > App Playground, as a .swiftpm package, the settings are very limited, including setting the minimum OS version. This is incredibly irritating because I can't keep make @available blocks because that would double the size of my code, and I can't use SwiftData (for example) because my app needs to also support iOS 16. Is there a way to set the minimum OS or some other upload type accepted for Apple so that I can change this simple setting? Thank you

Okay everyone who click into or just pass by this post ,to cut a farrrirly long story short ,here is the thing... I was devloping my app in the playground on my Mac , which was building for the iPad, In the early time of real machine commissioning(through the Xcode ),everything is okay everything is okay.. "well,mabe it's time to deploy my app to the playground in ipad"! Then,to top it all off🤣,then playground tell me (In case that you can't understand chinese and creat ambiguity ) emm that's too tight...,so I can only got back to the Xcode changing my language version to swift 5 then..... Noting change .... and I think err.. in order to properly deploy app to iPad ,I had to rework my code with swift 5! So, I almost fell on my knees ,can somebody who in charge of the playground ,can somebody who in charge of the playground ,just ,just! shove swift 6 in the playground (as long as it make my code run anyway), otherwise there's no way to debug it! please please plase!

Hello all! I am currently facing an issue where I am receiving an "ios app products are only permitted in swift playground packages" error when trying to build the app. I forked a branch from the git repo that my friend made not too long ago, yet I still can't figure out what the issue was. I can provide the repo if needed.

When running the code below in a playground file, it crashes with an LLDB RPC Server crash. The crash log is attached.

Hi! I have a remote student who's learning to code in Swift using Playgrounds - Learn to Code 2. It's frustrating to try to test his code when we think he as part of a solution to a puzzle because he can't run his code twice in the same puzzle without resetting the puzzle - when he tries, the page gives an error, and he has to reload the whole puzzle, which erases his code. As a workaround, he's been copying his code and reloading the puzzle whenever he wants to test out a partial solution. Is there an easier way to do this?

I am currently running MacOS 12.7.6 version and this is the last update on my machine, and swift playgrounds is not downloading in it, so I want its older version, I think I need Swift Playgrounds 4.1, so please give me a solution. Thank you so much!
