Since Swift Playgrounds was able to submit Apps to the AppStore ,Apple stated that it can be used to develop apps without having to use Xcode. But if you do so you are lost:

The Testflight beta versions of Swift Playgrounds with API support for iOS 17 and macOS 14 have expired one week before the new systems become/became available and there is still no final version! If you used Playgrounds to develop an iOS 17 ready version of your app you can't do anything now and that at a time where the users get their hands on the new OS.

That is really bad.

Yes, I hope they either release a new build in Testflight (the old one had some bugs) or release a new version in the App Store. As of today anyone using the TestFlight version of Playgrounds for iOS 17 is effectively dead in the water. You can go back to the previous App Store version, but you will get errors.
