Swift Playground
Swift Playground teaches Swift through interactive lessons and lets you build SwiftUI apps on a Mac.
Choose it for moving from coding puzzles to small working app projects.
Immediate previews, guided walkthroughs and Swift packages connect learning exercises with real app code.
Keep in mind: It does not replace every advanced Xcode workflow; App Store submission still depends on the relevant developer enrollment, review and distribution requirements.
