#swiftplayground — Public Fediverse posts

If you’re trying to test JSON decoding in a Swift Playground, it crashes the playground’s LLDB RPC server in Xcode 16.3 every time. Works fine in Xcode 16.2 I wasted a lot of time yesterday on this, but now I’m installing 16.2

> If you know of any Swift Playgrounds on iPad success stories, please let me know. I’d love to write more about this.

@daveverwer I’m not a dinosaur! 👋

It’s not a popular app or anything, so a “success story” might be pushing it, but I’ve published an app called Medlied entirely with Swift Playground(s)!

PS: As of the update this morning / yesterday, it’s now called #SwiftPlayground (singular)!

*Edit:*

I want to express my thanks and appreciation for all the boosts and comments! I had no idea this would get spread so widely, and I'm humbled by the support.

I'll reply to this post with the plan that I have for the next session.

Original post below...

I'm volunteering at my daughter's elementary school by teaching a "coding club" for 5th graders during their lunch and afternoon recess.

It mostly went great, except I left nearly in tears...

One of the kiddos that joined is blind, and I discovered that the coding programs for kids don't appear to be accessible *at all*.

First we tried Swift Playgrounds, but that didn't seem to work with VoiceOver. Then, he said that he's liked ScratchJr. in the past, and he got frustrated with that because he couldn't get his cat to move.

I'm kinda at a loss for how to help him. He left crying because he thinks that he can't get it, but I'm sure he can. Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks!!
