Swift Playgrounds overheats my MacBook within 5-10 min of opening the app, even if I don't do anything on it and simply leave it open. Does anyone else have this issue? And is there anyway to prevent it from overheating so quickly, or should I just wait for the next update?
Thank you.
What does Activity Monitor say?
How much physical ram in your MB?
What amount of free space do you have on your SSD?
Did you get any help with this?
I just got a refurbed 2019 1.4 Quad Core i5 with 8 gb and I'm having the same problem.
It looks like my Mac just doesn't have enough RAM to run it. Though it probably is also because of a lot of bugs with the app. I'd suggest waiting for the next update, which is probably what I'll end up doing, and filing a bug report.
I just bought a Macbook Pro 2019 refurb and am having this same issue. I got this one on the advice of the apple sales guy as he said it is more than capable of running Swift Playgrounds but 5/10 minutes in to using the app it sounds like it's about to take off. I spoke to a Tech advisor last week who said it definitely shouldn't do that and arranged for a replacement macbook to be sent out which arrived yesterday, and it's doing the exact same thing... Mine is the Macbook Pro 2019, 8gb, 256gb SSD.. App runs flawlessly on my iPad Air 2 so seems strange to me that a Macbook Pro struggles with it?

....8GB strikes again.
Yeah, I find it odd that Swift Playgrounds needs more RAM to run than Xcode. Plus, it works better on iPads. I'm assuming the issue is just a lot bugs on the Mac App.
Have exactly the same problem with Pro 2015 16GB ram. I think Apple need to fix the Swift Playground itself with an update
my macbook pro with 16 gb of of RAM
get overheated too.
the macbookair of my daughter consume the battery from 99-34% in 20 min if the app is open
I have a 16gb of RAM on my Macbook Pro with plenty of storage experiencing the same issue.
Activity Monitor just shows that swift playgrounds is unresponsive and the heat increases/fan kicks on pretty much instantly.
the next update is coming, Swift Playgrounds Version 3.3
The same happens with my MacBook Pro...I believe it's the app.
