How do you save data from a Swift Playgrounds App on the Mac? I get an error 'playgroundSharedDataDirectory is not supported in Swift Playgrounds' I think it's doable, some of the Swift Playgrounds tutorials remember the pages I've completed. This is with Playgrounds 4.5.1 on a Mac mini M2 Pro running OSX 14.7 (Sonoma) Ideally, I'd like to save multiple 'documents' and allow the user to select which one they want to work with. The documents don't need to be visible to other Apps. Thanks in advance

Hello! I have asked this question in previous years, but I want to make sure I can be safe as each challenge could be different. Are applicants for the Swift Student Challenge allowed to use the features and technologies involved with Metal/MetalKit? Last year, the answer was yes. I have seen a few people here and there use it with Swift and won. I would like to know if we can use it for the 2025 challenge for this year as well. Thanks! :)

I used Swift Playground to develop application in Mac OS. Also using ZStack I used limited area in full page (using .frame(width: $, height: $)). However using command + R or clicking start button to see preview .app, while non resizing application my ZStack show as cutted. Please tell me how to set preview .app frame size as width, height... The buttom code is ContentView.swift code. @main struct ContentView: App { init() { MyFont.registerFonts() } // @StateObject private var audioPlayer = AudioPlayer() var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { NavigationStack { StartMenuView() .frame(minWidth: 594, maxWidth: 594, minHeight: 1142, maxHeight: 1142) .preferredColorScheme(.dark) // Dark Mod .statusBar(hidden: true) // Hidden Status Bar .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all) // Ignoring Safe Area } } .windowResizability(.contentSize) } } Thank you for reading. ![]("https://developer.apple.com/forums/content/attachment/8ad9f219-6caa-49bf-b8c3-e4b7c91ab40f" "title=image.png;width=1050;height=803") ![]("https://developer.apple.com/forums/content/attachment/395ee85e-9543-4bfd-9caf-3ce3c2ca8414" "title=image2.png;width=1104;height=973")

With iOS 18.3.1 in Playground there is a different view in TabView: in Preview the systemImage are visible and the TabView is visible under, instead launching the app the systemImage it is no longer visible. How can I solve it? Thank you

I developed my app on xcode, and it builds fine for xcode on simulator. However, when I transferred the swiftpm file to my ipad, the playground failed to build with only the error message "Build failed", while preview on playgrounds works fine. I am not sure what the cause of the error is, if anyone has any tips that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

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

I’m looking to publish an app I’ve written on my iPad (Air, to be exact), but I can’t make a screenshot at the required size (which is Pro). And yes, I don’t have a Mac (yeah, I know). Is there an easy or simple way to get a screenshot of an app if I don’t have the right hardware? Is this something I could scale/resize from a smaller device? Or, could I just include a portion of the actual screenshot in a picture (with the correct dimension) that has other text/information? any help would be greatly appreciated

After updating playgroud to the latest 4.6.3 version, the original sample app download interface disappeared. I tried many methods but couldn't find it again. How should I retrieve it again? Or was it deleted in this version?

Hi there, I'm currently learning how to write some code using Swift Playgrounds on my Mac, and I'm wondering if there's a way to install the code I create onto my iPhone, like a regular app. I've searched online quite a bit but haven't found any clear or definitive answers. Many resources mention a "Run on iPhone" option in Swift Playgrounds, but I don't see that button in my version. I even installed Xcode and connected my iPhone to my Mac, following the instructions I found, but the "Run on iPhone" option still doesn't appear in Playgrounds. I've updated my Mac, iPhone, and Playgrounds to the latest version. Thank you for your help!

How can I enable "Extended Runtime Sessions" for a companion watch app? Here https://developer.apple.com/documentation/watchkit/using-extended-runtime-sessions in targets under 'Signing & Capabilities' I checked "Audio" and Session Type 'Mindfulness', I created an ExtendedRuntimeManager.swift file. When running a simulation the error message says "Extended Runtime Session ungültig: Reason=-1, Error=This application does not have appropriate permissions to schedule a session." How does the app get the 'appropriate permissions'?

Experimenting with #Playground macro with Xcode 26 beta 3, out of the box I see a conflict between duplicates in the XcodeDefault Toolchain. Essentially a clean install of macOS Tahoe 26 25A5306g FB18930059 Was trying to follow the first Foundation Model WWDC video example but distilling it down to the most basic use of the Playground macro produces the same error. import Playgrounds #Playground { } Any solutions / workarounds? Wasn't sure whether to attempt to delete one of these–but they are internal libraries. objc[3241]: Class PGLConcurrentMapNode is implemented in both /Applications/Xcode-beta 3.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PlaygroundLogger.framework/Versions/A/PlaygroundLogger (0x10db98c10) and /Applications/Xcode-beta 3.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift/macosx/libLiveExecutionResultsLogger.dylib (0x10db18050). This may cause spurious casting failures and mysterious crashes. One of the duplicates must be removed or renamed. error: Couldn't look up symbols: protocol descriptor for Playgrounds.__PlaygroundsContentRecordContainer```

Moving the cursor left and right becomes extremely sluggish, though up-down movement and mouse clicks are normal. The Apple Store Genius checked the hardware and even reinstalled the OS, but the issue remains.

Hello, Is it possible to integrate a database into Swift Playground on iPad? Otherwise, what can be done? Thank you.

Several lessons in Keep Going with Apps cannot be completed even when the code is correct. This blocks progression and greys out the Next button permanently.

Hi, I encountered an issue after the latest update on Swift Playground. I’m using the iPad Pro 3rd Gen, first time reporting a bug hopefully I’m on the right platform. When I create a new Swift file or folder, it’ll auto revert the file/folder name to the default naming upon creation. Tested this one on a few existing projects, it’s the same for all of them. Initially when I created a new project to verify, those files/folders can be renamed without the issue of reverting. But after testing it again, seems like the same issue is happening to it as well. I‘ve tried restarting my iPad but the problem persists. So I thought to report it and from my search seems like this is the platform for it? Thanks.

I'm unable to rename my Swift Playground or add/change the app icon when I imported a package dependency after upgraded my Swift Playgrounds App to the newest version. Every time I tried to do that, the whole project will be destroyed and showed error message below. I wonder if anyone have same experience with me or someone can tell me the solution, it terrifies me and I'm worried that I'll be unable to submit my project on time because of that.

Fatal Error in Swift Playground Description I'm experiencing a catastrophic error when importing Package Dependency in any Swift Playgrounds that has icon or name that caused the whole Playground won't work anymore with error messages below. I'm current running macOS Sequoia 15.3 (24D60) and Swift Playgrounds 4.6.1. They're all up-to-date. Reproduction Open Swift Playgrounds and and create a new project. Import a package dependency https://github.com/simibac/ConfettiSwiftUI.git Rename the project and add an icon Then you should able the reproduce the problem. I strongly believed that this is a serious bug. You'll find that Assets in the left column are disappeared and appeared Assets.xcassets, you're unable to reveal the Dependency in the column like the reference picture above. The whole Playground is destroyed now and unable to work anymore.

第一次接触swift编程，swift playground里面编程入门挺简单的，因为英语也不好，不知道怎么入手了

Hi, friends! I have a Keynote file, in which I create design for macOS applications settings and system settings, that I use and which are installed on my Mac. I like to record my settings so that every time I reinstall the system or an application I can open my file and set it up exactly the way I want. It's like a user manual, only it looks nice with Mac design elements. And I do it in a presentation (Keynote). I also use a Sketch for the design. I want to turn all this into an app for myself, using Swift Playground. Does anyone know how to, for example, add a macOS Dock icon from a Sketch to Swift Playground?
