Hello All,
I am currently working through ”Keep going with Apps” in Swift Playground. The section in the tutorial “Add a DancingCreature view” will not complete. I have tried to type it is as written in the tutorial and even used the copy and paste button provided. I have restarted the app and my IPad with no success. I have attached a screen shot of the tutorial prompt.
Here is the code block:
import SwiftUI
import Guide
struct DancingCreatures: View {
//#-learning-code-snippet(varDeclaration)
@EnvironmentObject var data : CreatureZoo
var body: some View {
SPCAssessableGroup(view: self) {
VStack {
ZStack {
/*#-code-walkthrough(dance.forEach)*/
ForEach(data.creatures) { creature in
/*#-code-walkthrough(dance.forEach)*/
/*#-code-walkthrough(dance.textView)*/
Text(creature.emoji)
.resizableFont()
.offset(creature.offset)
.rotationEffect(creature.rotation)
/*#-code-walkthrough(dance.textView)*/
}
}
ZStack {
/*#-code-walkthrough(dance.forEach)*/
ForEach(data.creatures) { creature in
/*#-code-walkthrough(dance.forEach)*/
/*#-code-walkthrough(dance.textView)*/
Text(creature.emoji)
.resizableFont()
.offset(creature.offset)
.rotationEffect(creature.rotation)
/*#-code-walkthrough(dance.textView)*/
//#-learning-code-snippet(exp1)
//#-learning-code-snippet(animationSolution)
//#-learning-code-snippet(exp3)
}
}
/*#-code-walkthrough(dance.onTap)*/
.onTapGesture {
data.randomizeOffsets()
}
/*#-code-walkthrough(dance.onTap)*/
/*#-code-walkthrough(dance.onTap)*/
.onTapGesture {
data.randomizeOffsets()
}
/*#-code-walkthrough(dance.onTap)*/
}
}
}
}
struct DancingCreatures_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
DancingCreatures().environmentObject(CreatureZoo())
}
}
Device information: IPad Pro (11 inch, 2nd gen)
iPad OS Version: 26.0.1
Playground Version: 4.6.4
Anyone else come across this?
Thank you in advance.

Hi, I'm using Swift Playground version 4.6.4 (1997.50) on macOS Tahoe 26.1 and when I create new apps, I get a security warning message every time I try to add a new line of code or switch between ContentView and MyApp source files 🤬
The message is "My app.app would like to access data from other apps"
I've checked my Mac's Privacy & Security settings to ensure Playground has full disk access. Clicking the "Allow" button does not resolve the issue, it keeps happening each time I do anything - its makes Playground unusable 😞
Does anyone know how to stop these messages ? Is this a bug ?
Hello,
I am having a recurring issue using Swift Playgrounds version 4.6.4 on macOS 26.1.
Upon opening a file and every other time I start typing in the code section I get a prompt, the image below, two or three times. It doesn't matter if I accept or decline all or some of the prompts, as soon as I start typing on another line I get prompted another two or three times for permission.
It appears to me that prompt generates every time the preview pane tries to update. Declining the prompt breaks the preview but accepting the prompt only gets you through a single line of code before it appears again.
I believe this issue started after I updated to macOS26.1 as I had not encountered it before. I've also opened other files with Swift Playgrounds and encounter the same problem.
It could also be unrelated to the update and could be an issue with some permission setting somewhere, however, I have been unable to find what or where it could be.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Thank you for your time :)
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!

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

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.

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.
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.

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'm trying to upload images to Swift Playground on XCode, and it's not working. When I created my playground, there is no Resources folder or an assets file. If I simply drag an image file to the sidebar, the image is not showing up when used in the app. This may be a simple fix, but as a beginner, I am struggling to find the solution. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

I am preparing for Swift Student Challenge, but it seems like the iPad Playground app still not support the latest SDK.
I can't use frameworks like FoundationModel, etc., directly in playground app
My playground for this year would require iPad environment since it uses PencilKit, ARKit, etc., and I also want to use the latest tech + the liquid glass UI
Right now, I develop the project as a normal Xcode project, and I am wondering how do I post it?
As Xcode playground, it must run on macOS
As Swift Playground project, the iPad version of Playground does not support latest APIs and it can't compile
