Are the playgrounds working for anyone on the latest update? Interaction is broken.

The Swift playgrounds are not working for me on the latest update of Xcode and MacOS. Since the entire scholarship revolves around the playground working on the latest version of Xcode this is very concerning to me. The interaction does not seem to be working for me. If you would like the see more about this issue I posted a question on StackOverflow ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/43058238/swift-playgrounds-arent-acting-correctly-after-xcode-update ).


Are the playgrounds working for anyone else? As you can see from the link the interaction is not working. Can anyone run that code and see if it works?

Thanks everybody for the information about this issue. Because of you all we were able to identify the issue and have a workaround. See the post I just made here: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/74999


Note, if Playground interactions are working normally for you, then you do not need to apply this workaround.


The judges will by default use Xcode 8.3, but if you have any issues with Xcode 8.3 and want the judges to use Xcode 8.2.1 instead, please state that in the submission comments.

8.2.1 does not work for me. 😢


EDIT: I got 8.2.1 to work by toggling Platform settings in the File Inspector

Thanks, this works! But since the other post is locked, I'll write it here: the 'X' must be capitalized in the script, otherwise Xcode will not notice it.

My bad didn't mention to use 8.2.1 ♂️😐. So I think mine will be disqualified.

With regard to this user interaction issue in Xcode 8.2.1 versus 8.3, you wouldn't be disqualfied. The judges are aware of the issue and are certainly keeping an eye out for playgrounds that run into this.
