Apple invites developers to try out the new Swift Playgrounds 4.1 beta for Mac and iPad



Apple released the long-awaited Swift Playground 4 last year, which let developers submit their projects directly from the iPad to the App Store for the first time. Now the company is inviting developers to try out the new Swift Playgrounds 4.1 beta, which brings new features to iPad apps, and Mac apps in particular.

For those unfamiliar, Swift Playgrounds is an Apple app to help developers and students learn the company’s Swift programming language. With iPad apps, developers can also easily code and submit their projects to Xcode or the App Store.

Swift Playgrounds is a revolutionary app for the iPad and Mac that makes learning and experimenting with Swift fun – a powerful programming language created by Apple and used by professionals to build today’s most popular apps. Swift Playgrounds doesn’t require coding knowledge, so it’s perfect for students.

With Swift Playgrounds 4, the iPad version of the app got a bunch of new features, like the ability to upload projects to App Store Connect, live app previews, and more. Now these features are coming to Mac with version 4.1, which will also allow developers to build apps from scratch with the tool.

According to Apple, these are the main new features for Mac users:

  • Preview your app and watch changes live as you type (app project requires macOS 12.4 beta 2 or higher).
  • Run your app in your window and install to Applications folder Learn how to build apps with walkthroughs and samples provided by Apple.
  • Submit your app on App Store Connect and distribute with TestFlight.
  • Type with quick, inline code suggestions.
  • Browse the library of SwiftUI controls, symbols and colors.
  • Use publicly available Swift packages.
  • Search through all the files in your project.
  • Open your new app project in Xcode.

For the iPad version, Swift Playgrounds 4.1 beta adds a new “Keep Going with Apps” tutorial to help developers who are learning about SwiftUI.

Developers can request access to the Swift Playgrounds beta through the Apple Developer website. Simply visit the Downloads webpage, click the Beta menu, and then select the Applications tab. If your request is accepted, you will receive a TestFlight invitation in your email.
