Apple today released Swift Playgrounds 4, an update to the Swift Playgrounds app that’s been in the works for some time. The newest version of the app allows iPhone and iPad apps to be created directly on an iPad without the need for a Mac.<\/p>\n

Swift Playgrounds 4 includes App Store Connect integration for uploading a finished app to the App Store , plus there is an App Preview feature that shows live updates as you make changes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
