Hi all. I have an interesting question for Swift playground on Mac. As a user of a MacBook, I do like messing around on it and find new things every day. But this question is related to Swift playground, an application for prototyping and releasing basic apps onto the App Store, but sometimes they can be vastly advanced. Xcode is the main way to make applications on Mac and submit them to the App Store and prototype them on a real device such as an iPhone or iPad, but Zwift playground on Mac has been brought to my attention. I know it is on iPad because I use it all the time for prototyping new ideas That me and all my friends at Blind soft come up with. How is it? Has anyone tried it? If so, tell me and I will reply as soon as possible. And if you’re wondering why I cannot use Xcode, it is because that this Mac is an old Mac and cannot support the latest version of macOS, as well as Xcode. It is running macOS 14.7.5 but I will be upgrading soon. And don’t ask why I am running an older version of macOS, because I am lazy to update.

Swift Playgrounds for macOS
Hello,
Swift Playgrounds for Mac is very similar to the iPad version of the app, but it only let's you build apps for the Mac. They may have changed it where you can build for iOS, but I think it is still only able to build for the platform that it is erun on.
I did notice though that VoiceOver would lose focus in the code editing area, and I do think that Xcode does work best with VoiceOver, but it is still good to see if it works for you. They may have changed some things since I worked with it in my last app development class last year.
I'd be curious as to how your experience is with it.
