Hello the community, how are you? Since few days, this messages displays as an error into my code: "The compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time; try breaking up the expression into distinct sub-expressions" Since all these days, I'm not able to solve this problem. My app is almost done and the code is good. But I don't find where the problem is from. Here's the block where the message appears: var body: some View { //The compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time; try breaking up the expression into distinct sub-expressions VStack { TextField("Search invoices...", text: $searchText) .padding(10) .background(Color.gray.opacity(0.1)) .cornerRadius(10) .padding(.horizontal) HStack { ForEach(BillFilter.allCases) { filter in Button(action: { selectedFilter = filter }) { Text(filter.rawValue) .padding() .background(selectedFilter == filter ? Color.accentColor : Color.gray.opacity(0.2)) .foregroundColor(selectedFilter == filter ? .white : .black) .cornerRadius(8) } } All the best,

Certain documentation seems to suggest I can submit a swift playground to the App Store. I am a paid $99 a year developer. In the submission process they ask for my team ID. I am not part of a team. I am an individual. However, my individual account has a team ID associated with it, but they don’t allow me to enter that number in the space provided. There is an * note saying some teams are not permitted to upload to the Apple store connect. How do I, a paid up developer, submit a swift playgrounds app to the App Store?.

While demonstrating Swift Playground to my students, I noticed that, unlike Xcode, it doesn’t seem possible to predefine or insert custom code snippets. In Xcode, we can easily create and reuse our own code snippets to improve teaching and development efficiency, but I couldn’t find a similar feature in Swift Playground. Is there currently a way to predefine or insert custom code snippets in Swift Playground? Are there any recommended workarounds, or plans to support this feature in the future? Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated.

I clicked the “Get” button in the Swift tutorial, and it started displaying a circular progress bar. However, when the progress bar was full, it did not show that I could use this tutorial, but still display “Get”. Device: iPad (7th) System: iPadOS 18.3.2 App Version: 4.6.4

In swift playgrounds on my Mac I keep getting this message, “Keep Going with Apps” would like to access data from other apps. I click allow but it the message keeps popping back up.

I’m using Swift Playgrounds on macOS 26 to learn app development, starting with the “Get Started with Apps” template. Every time I run the template, macOS shows a popup asking: “Get Started with Apps” wants to access data from other apps. Allow / Don’t Allow I’ve already tried: Granting Playgrounds Full Disk Access in System Settings → Privacy & Security Checking Automation / App Permissions Restarting Playgrounds and macOS …but the popup still appears every run. I’m aware this is related to App Sandbox and privacy restrictions, but I’m looking for a way to: Suppress this popup entirely while running playgrounds code, or Run the template in a way that avoids triggering this permission request. macOS version: 26.1 Playgrounds app version: 4.6.4

Recently, I have experienced this issue and the alert keep popping on my playground non-stop although I pressed " allow". I have attached the issue screenshot in this post. Can anyone help me with that.

Hello, I’m encountering an issue where an alert dialog keeps appearing repeatedly in my swift playground project. I pressed "Allow" button but it keeps appearing again. Does anyone can help me about it?

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

我在使用Swift Playground时一直弹出这个框，好烦！！！！！ 可以告诉我怎么设置才能让这个弹出框不出现吗？

Hey, meanwhile it's a great thing to program apps on the iPad and to be able to load them into the App Store Connect and the App Store. What about localization in the meantime? When I open the folder en.lproj in sample apps from XCode, then there are two files stored in it: Glossary.plist (XML) and Localizable.strings (binary) Is it correct that XCode creates binary files from the strings? Otherwise, Swift Playgrounds already offers localization in the localized learning content, but i guess the binary files can only be created in XCode?

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.

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'm trying to add Assets.xcassets to a .swiftpm project, but I'm getting the warning: ⚠️ Ignoring duplicate build file in build source build phase (Just to know, that is about developing in XCODE, in Swift Playgrounds does not appear it, even in this second being harder to setting up) The problem is that there are no “Build Phases” in XCODE to remove duplicate files manually. I've already tried adding the path of Assets.xcassets in the resources property of Package.swift, like: .executableTarget( name: "AppModule", path: ".", resources: [ .process("Assets.xcassets") ] ) Even so, the warning persists. Does anyone know how to solve this? Is there any way to remove duplicate references or force a cleanup of the Swift Package Manager cache to fix it? I appreciate any tips! 🙏🚀

Hi everyone, I’ve been developing an app using Swift Playgrounds, and it was working fine in version 4.5. However, after updating to Swift Playground 4.6, the app no longer runs. After some testing, I found that the issue occurs when import AppIntent is included. Here’s a simple example: import SwiftUI //import AppIntents // <- If this line is included, Preview and Run fail. @main struct MyApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundColor(.accentColor) Text("Hello, world!") } } } Has anyone else encountered this issue? Thanks!

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?

I am trying to complete the "Initializing Your Expert" lesson in the Swift Playground. Below I post just a snippet of the code that I wrote, since no matter how many lines of code I write, the turnLock() method has no effect whatsoever. let expert = Expert() /*Create a function that will move the Expert character forward the specified number of tiles. This will make the program easier to code and less verbose. */ func moveExpert(tiles: Int) { for tile in 1...tiles { expert.moveForward() } } /*Create a function to make the Expert do an about face, i.e. orient itself in the opposite direction. */ func aboutFace() { expert.turnRight() expert.turnRight() } expert.turnLockUp() The instructions give no information about this method, such as when or where it can and cannot be called. It states merely that calling it is supposed to "reveal the path between the platforms." I don't see multiple platforms in the 3D puzzle world, just one platform with different levels. No "path between platforms" is ever shown when I call this method, regardless of the location of the Expert character. Why doesn't this method ever do anything at all? Can anyone advise? Thank you kindly.

I am a high school teacher from China, currently teaching programming courses at my school. Several issues are preventing the course from being completed on schedule. As shown in the image, there are two problems: The preview issue has existed since updating to the latest software and system version; I don't know how to resolve it. After renaming a Swift file, this window keeps popping up, even after closing it. This problem didn't exist last year. How can I fix this? Thank you for your reply! 我是一名来自中国的高中教师，目前在学校开设编程课程，目前有几个问题导致课程无法如期完成。如图所示,存在两个问题: 一、自从更新了最新版本的软件和系统后,预览问题就存在，不知该如何处理 二、swift文件重命名后，一直跳出来这个窗口，关掉以后还是跳出来 去年的时候还没有存在这样的问题，请问我该如何处理，感谢您的回复！

Environment: Swift Playgrounds (macOS) SwiftUI App Preview macOS version: 26.2 (25C56) Issue: In Swift Playgrounds on macOS, the app repeatedly shows the system permission dialog: “My App would like to access data from other apps. Keeping app data separate makes it easier to manage your privacy and security.” Steps to Reproduce: Create a new SwiftUI app in Swift Playgrounds. Run the SwiftUI App Preview. When the permission dialog appears, click “Allow”. Expected Result: The permission should be granted once and persist, allowing the preview to continue normally. Actual Result: After clicking “Allow”, the SwiftUI App Preview crashes and restarts. When the preview restarts, the same permission dialog appears again. This repeats indefinitely, creating a loop. Notes: This occurs even when no explicit file system or inter-app data access code is written. The permission choice does not appear to persist between preview restarts. Question: Is this a known limitation of Swift Playgrounds sandboxing or SwiftUI App Preview? Is there an official workaround or recommended approach to avoid this behavior while using Swift Playgrounds?

Hello! I would like to use Speech Framework on my App Playground for this year challenge. But I still can't understand if I am allowed to use it to respect the rule of "not rely on a network connection". That's why: Speech framework can use on-device Speech recognition – No internet connection needed ✅. But it can ask to download an Apple's native language package to use it for this on-device recognition – To get this, you need to be connected to the Internet ❌. When I try to add a Speech Recognition Capabilities on my App Playground, its' description says: "Required to perform speech recognition using Apple's servers." (screenshot is attached). Does it mean that I won't be able to use on-device recognition on my App Playground? – And therefore, only online-version of this framework is available and I can't use it to participate on the challenge successfully❓. If it's possible, could you please make it clearer? This framework is crucial for my App Playground and I really need this to make it work. Thanks for your help in advance! And a have a good day!
