Hands on with Swift Playgrounds App for iOS 10

I have a start up idea and want to code my own iOS app. Are you telling me that Swift Playground will actually teach me how to programme an iOS app + its free 😮??

[onlyy]

Please can you show demo of running IOS 10 in iPad mini 4 and discuss abouts its performance and issues.

I just downloaded iOS 10 beta 2. And the app came preinstalled on my iPad Pro 9.7 inch. It is fantastic

[kaloshilo]

Nice. I am currently finishing up IO9 Swift 2. Now something newer is already out. Looks great.

Is it just the two lessons on the main screen of the app? Or are there more for more advanced swift or do you think they'll add more when the official app drops? Actually debating if to get an iPad just for this app seeing as I'm tired of using a hackintosh to learn swift

[CykaBlyatttttT]

Is Swift Playgrounds only for beginners or is it also for more advanced individuals e.g. intermediates?
It kind of looks like it's specifically made for kids. Is the target audience only kids or is it all age groups?

Can i use it in iOS 10 with an iPad 4???

[davidkratomberg]

is swift ipad pro exclusive i can't get it on ipad air 2

[ajayrajsingh]

Is it available on iPad mini running iOS 9.2.1

[skya.cramer]

Would it be worth buying an iPad just for this app?

[robertgonzalez]

Do u recommend running the ios 10 beta on daily phone

[Croaty]

if you install iOS 10, will you then be able to download the swift app? :)

[onlyy]

I also wanted to know whether we can code like professional programmers in Swift playground app. Does it supports all the features of Xcode??

[arjunparashar]

Hi
So with Swift Playgrounds, Developers don't need a Mac to code and can do it just with their iPad? Or is the app just for learning and we would later need a Mac to code?

How do you get iOS 10 Beta? +myjailbreakmovies

[melldy]

Do you know if I can simulate iOS 10 on a mac and get the playgrounds? I don't really want to buy an iPad just for that. Thanks!

I installed the iOS 10 beta 1 on my iPad 4th gen and the swift app isn't on here by default. Any ideas?

[PrinceLX]

Guaranteed kids will spend about 10 minutes on it whilst the adults will live on it! Haha. Great idea. The fact Swift is now open source and running on Linux is very exciting - potentially, this could replace Java like how HTML5 killed Flash. Yes, it took almost 10 years but it did it.

[skycouncil]

That's a useless app.
Tell me how will u create an inventory app on this playground ? No way i guess without actual coding :p
