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 have created a model folder and some swift files that are contained inside the folder. I change the file names to reflect structure or content and when I close the project and reopen it the file names revert to "New File"
I am using Swift Playgrounds on Mac. Not Xcode Playgrounds
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! 🙏🚀

I’ve encountered a bug in Swift Playgrounds within “Learn to Code 2”, specifically in the “Variables: Seeking Seven Gems” section. No matter what I do—or even if I do nothing at all—an error always occurs.
I’ve tested this on both an iPad (9th generation) and an iPad Pro 11-inch (4th generation), and the issue happens on both devices.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on how to fix or work around it?
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.

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 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.

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.
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?
My M2 Pro Mac mini with OSX 14.7 just updated to Swift Playgrounds 4.6.1. Now the :Learn to Code & Build Apps screen is limited in size and can't be zoomed. There is no way to scroll horizontally and I can't view the whole screen.
