Hi, I have a question regarding the Swift Student Challenge submission requirements.
I’m planning to use the glassEffect API introduced in iOS 26 and build my .swiftpm app to support iOS 26 only. Is it acceptable to submit a project that runs exclusively on iOS 26?
Currently, I am developing and building the project in Xcode. However, it seems that the current Swift Playgrounds app does not provide a preview or runtime environment for iOS 26 yet. I would like to confirm whether this could cause any issues during the review process, especially if reviewers are using Swift Playgrounds for evaluation.
Thank you for your clarification.
Your submission can rely on iOS 26 features.
However, that does mean that you’ll need to choose the Xcode option when submitting, because Swift Playground doesn’t currently support the iOS 26 SDK.
Regarding that last point, I wanna point you at this thread, where I’ve promised to post updates if and when they occur.
Share and Enjoy
