Hello, trying to create a simple utility for personal use using Swift Playgrounds. I want to install the app locally on my iPad, I don’t want to have Swift Playgrounds open to run. Have not been able to resolve. See below:
Environment: iPadOS Version: iPadOS 26.6.2 (23G90) Hardware: iPad Pro M4 Swift Playgrounds Version: 4.5+
Steps to Reproduce: Create a new App project (+ App button). Open App Settings > Team & Bundle Identifier. Ensure a free Apple ID is signed in. Tap the user's name under the "Team" list.
Expected Result: The UI should register the selection, generate a local provisioning profile, and reveal the "Install on this iPad" button. If the user needs to accept a web agreement, an alert should guide them.
Actual Result: Nothing happens. The row registers the touch visually, but the state remains "No Team Selected, Unknown Bundle Identifier". No error message is thrown, blocking local installation entirely.
Thanks
This question confused me because you folks are convinced that an Install on this iPad button should exist but I’ve never seen such a thing. So I ended up seeking advice from the Swift Playground team. They confirmed that, while such a button does exist on the Mac — it’s called Install on this Mac — there is not, and has never been, such a button on iPad.
Share and Enjoy
