Hi everyone, I just finished my first app and I have a doubt about whether picker view automatically makes a series of loops in its func. I put some prints inside the funcs and this is the result only when starting the view with the picker: Every time I select it the cycles continue. It's normal? Is there a way to avoid or control it? Thanks in advance for any response.

Hello, is the new Journaling Suggestions API available in App Playgrounds (made using Xcode)? I know I can add capabilities in Xcode, but it seems that the Journaling Suggestions capability isn't available. I assume this API is currently unsupported in App Playgrounds?

https://www.swift.org/getting-started/swiftui/ Is there a better tutorial than this one. Can't seem to find a live youtube video that teaches it. I went to git hub and downloaded the source code but all it shows is a big round blue circle. I can't seem to get pass the below code without it giving me an error. I need to see this tutorial live. Any suggestions? struct ContentView: View { var activities = ["Archery", "Baseball", "Basketball", "Bowling", "Boxing", "Cricket", "Curling", "Fencing", "Golf", "Hiking", "Lacrosse", "Rugby", "Squash"] var selected = "Archery" var body: some View { // ... } }

Hi! I'm preparing to apply for the Swift Student Challenge and had a question, how can I find info.plist in Xcode 15.2 playground I will do a game AR game and I need info.plist to access to camera so how can I find info.plist ?

I am using Swift Playground to teach "coding" to my nephew. One of the strict requirements I am trying to explain him is: when you are required to solve a problem, you need to use only the instructions/harward/etc you have available. In the first episode of "Get started with code" -> "Commands" -> "Issuing commands", you are presented with two commands moveForward() and collectGem(). In the second episode "Toggle a Switch" you are introduced to a new command "toggleSwitch()". Up to this point, the learner was introduced to three commands: moveForward(), collectGem(), toggleSwitch(). However, in order to solve the puzzle in the second episode, you need also to use another command: turnLeft(), that has not been referenced. It is clear that looking for unknown commands is part of learning to code, but this occurs too early in the playground. Please consider also that some non-English young learners have no idea on how to write "turn left", so they cannot even type the first letters and hope in the auto-completion of the commands. This has not been well thought by the designers of the playground.

Hi! I'm preparing to apply for the Swift Student Challenge and had a question. In the terms and conditions, it says "Your app playground must be built with and run on Swift Playgrounds 4.4 or later (requires iPadOS 16 or macOS 13.5) or Xcode 15 on macOS 13.5 or later. You may incorporate the use of Apple Pencil." Does this mean that my app must run on iPadOS 16 or macOS 13.5, or can it run on iPadOS 17 or macOS 14 or later as long as it runs on Playgrounds 4.4? In other words, what should I set my Deployment Target to? Thanks for your help in advance 😜

Hello everyone, Is there a way to set the minimum deployment target in Xcode Playground?

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?

I am trying to generate a simple playground to display Table structure with several TableColumns. Basically, generated a new blank playground; add import statements for SwiftUI and PlayGround support; add structure for content view and a statement for invoking that view as: `PlaygroundPage.current.setLiveView(ContentView()) In general, all of the view components work as expected EXCEPT for the table structure which does not display anything. Its basic structure is: Table(rows, selection: $selRow) { TableColumn("ID") {Text(String($0.id))} TableColumn("Name", value: \.nt) } where "rows" is an array of the structure TRow: struct TRow : Identifiable { var id:Int var num:Int var nt:String } Is there some special trick to allowing a SwiftUI Table to be displayed in Playground?

Hi, I wanted to learn basics on developing in iOS and started with Swift Explorations. I have installed Xcode 15.0.1 and running it on Ventura 13.5.1. When I execute the Playgroung Basics.playground file, I get an error message saying "Failed to attach to stub for playground execution". Any clue as to why that might be? I am able to create my own playground and execute it properly. I searched around but could not find anything on the topic (other than disablig Rosetta which is not an option as far I can tell in my case; don't see that checkbox under Get Info). Any pointer would be welcome. Cheers, Piloo

Hi. I want to make my Playground Book public. How can I prepare and provide Swift Playgrounds subscription server? Thanks.

When I open a new blank playground in Xcode the very first line "import cocoa" gets the alert "Could not build Objective-C module 'Cocoa'". Can someone please tell me what I have done wrong and how I can fix it. Xcode 15.0.1 Ventura 13.6.1

Hi there, I am trying to add functionalities for my app developed using Swift Playgrounds environment on mac. There is a plus button that opens an interface where I can choose the feature in question. Until here, no problem you would say! But my problem is that I don’t know which package should I use or even import to develop my application? Best regards,

Hi, I have a problem with making a swift playgrounds app walkthrough. I followed the steps exactly and modified my Package.swift a bit (in the targets section): .executableTarget(name: "App", dependencies: ["Guide"], path: "App"),         .target(             name: "Guide",             path: "Guide",             resources: [             .process("Guide.tutorial"),             ]) Now when I open the project in Playgrounds I get this error: public headers ("include") directory path for 'Guide' is invalid or not contained in the target Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I'm just starting out and I'm trying to learn Swift with various tools including the Playground and I'm doing the "continue with the apps" exercises. I'm stuck at the point where I need to add the Colorpicker to change the color. The code seems right but the app won't let me move forward. struct CreatureDetail: View { /#-code-walkthrough(creatureDetail.intro)/ /#-code-walkthrough(creatureDetail.creatureConstant)/ let creature : Creature /#-code-walkthrough(creatureDetail.creatureConstant)/ //#-learning-code-snippet(addStateVarIsScaled) /*#-code-walkthrough(creatureDetail.stateVars)*/ @State var color = Color.white @State var shadowRadius : CGFloat = 0.5 @State var angle = Angle(degrees: 0) /*#-code-walkthrough(creatureDetail.stateVars)*/ var body: some View { VStack { Text(creature.emoji) .resizableFont() .colorMultiply(color) .shadow(color: color, radius: shadowRadius * 40) .rotation3DEffect(angle, axis: (x: 0.0, y: 1.0, z: 0.0)) ColorPicker("Choose a Color", selection: $color) .padding(.horizontal) } } }

Hi, dear community, I recently updated my old Macbook pro(model 2016) to Monterey(which is the latest macOS that support 2016 model), but the Swift Playgrounds on AppStore requires macOS 13. Is there any way I can get the app, just like Xcode? Xcode provides an alternative way to download the xip file of an older version, but playgrounds does. Many thanks in advance, any help will be appreciated!

Since Swift Playgrounds was able to submit Apps to the AppStore ,Apple stated that it can be used to develop apps without having to use Xcode. But if you do so you are lost: The Testflight beta versions of Swift Playgrounds with API support for iOS 17 and macOS 14 have expired one week before the new systems become/became available and there is still no final version! If you used Playgrounds to develop an iOS 17 ready version of your app you can't do anything now and that at a time where the users get their hands on the new OS. That is really bad.

I have the latest version on macOs and Xcode, since the last update playgrounds doesn't work, the code compiles and runs but the run console doesn't show up and it stucks with the loading icon. before the last update it worked fine
