Hello,
I’ve been trying to play system sounds in my app, but this hasn’t really been working. I am frequently switching between speech recognition (Speech framework) and sounds, so perhaps that’s where the issue lies. However, despite my best efforts, I haven't been able to solve the issue. I've been resetting the AVAudioSession category before playing a sound or starting speech recognition (as depicted in the code snippet below), to no avail. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anybody know how to fix the issue?
recognizer = nil
try? AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(.playback, mode: .default, options: [])
try? AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true)
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(1113)
try? AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(.record, mode: .spokenAudio, options: [])
try? AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true)
recognizer = SpeechRecognition(word: wordSheet)
recognizer!.startRecognition()
Thank you.

Hey, everyone!
I've been testing my .swiftpm app on an iPhone. If you're wondering about how I made the connections, I used a cable plugged into my Mac so that Xcode could communicate with the phone. Do you think that evaluators of the app will be alright with this method of testing it out as well?
I'm particularly leaning towards the iPhone platform because my app requires a pedometer.
Thanks!
Ethan

Hello! For my Swift Student Challenge 2024 Project I'm using some Illustrations from OpenDoodles (opendoodles.com). Open doodles is free for commercial and personal use and the creator has no copyright claimed. My question is whether I have to clarify the use of these Illustration when submitting the project.

Hello!
With Swift Student Challenge submissions on Saturday, does anybody mind letting me know how to implement CoreML (I have a model trained in CreateML already) in the SwiftPM format?
Thanks!

I'm looking through all the latest posts to clarify a doubt I have, I noticed @eskimo's response claiming that the app must be built and run on iPadOS 16 or later. So I suppose it's okay to create an app that has SwiftData as the framework even if that dictates that the app will run on iOS 17; Also because when you create a new project in Swift Playgrounds 4.4.1 (latest version available at the moment) the target is set to iOS 17.2 automatically and technically you can't edit Package.swift file manually.
Thanks in advance ❤️
Hi, I am a Japanese student entering the swift student challenge this year.
Will Apple be able to recognize my ID card, which is in JAPANESE, as a proof of my enrollment?
The submission page states that
To verify your student status, provide a PDF, PNG, or JPEG of your class schedule, other proof of enrollment, or proof of graduation within the past 6 months.
Make sure the documentation clearly shows:
Your name,
The organization or school name, and
The dates showing that it’s valid.
In my ID. card, my name is written in Japanese , but other texts have subtitles in English, such as "Date of Birth" written under the Japanese. It also does not say the name of the school in English, only Japanese.
Hello there,
Are we allowed to use iOS 17 features if they’re wrapped in an ‘if #available(iOS 17, *)’ check? I.e. the app would still function fine on iOS 16, but perhaps have an optional feature that works slightly better on iOS 17”
Thanks!

I'm creating a playground for SSC, and I'm using a lot of the new frameworks and capablities introduced in WWDC 2023, including @Observation, SwiftData, phaseAnimator...etc.
Checking the forums just now, I see some people claiming the app should run on iOS 16 as well, so I revert the deployment destination from iOS 17 to iOS 16 in Package.swift, and now I have 150+ errors in my app playground. I know I can use #if available to write alternative code for earlier iOS versions but it feels like a redundancy since the app will be judged by Apple engineers who most likely have iOS 17 running on their devices, and since the judging process, I assume, takes into account the number of new technologies utilised.
Should I write '#if available else' statements for the entire app playground, keep the deployment destination as iOS 17, or change the technologies used to iOS 16 or earlier (@observed object, CoreData...etc)? Which option is safer given that I only have less than 5 days left?

My app looks the best when it's run on an iPhone simulator, since that is what I was targeting from the start. I’m aware that an Xcode app playground submission will be run on MacOS in the Simulator only, but is there a way for me to limit/ask the Simulator to only use the iPhone?
I'm seeing a few posts on this forum giving the impression that submissions will primarily be run on either the iPad, or Swift Playgrounds on Mac.
Furthermore, my app depends a lot on some of the new iOS 17 features (SwiftData, @Observable macros, etc.)
I followed this thread to modify my Package.swift file to target iOS 17 and above only. Is this still a good idea, or should I instead wrap the whole app in a if #available version check?

Hi everyone! I'm working on an app to submit to the Swift Student Challenge this year and wanted to get some feedback on my plan to use MapKit.
I know Apple is pretty open to using any of their frameworks for the contest. But I wanted to see if anyone had insights on whether my use of MapKit would comply with the contest rules and eligibility criteria.
Any thoughts or advice you have on properly leveraging MapKit for my submission would be much appreciated! I want to make sure I avoid any issues since this framework is so integral to my app idea. Let me know if you have built a map-based app for Swift Student Challenge before as well. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I'm making a Playground targeting specifically iPadOS. I've read the Terms and Conditions and it says it will be run on iPad OS 16 and newer. Does anyone know if this means 16.6 or truly 16.0? I have a view modifier which is only supported in 16.4 in later.

Hi Developers,
I got a question about Reality Composer Project. How do I compress a Reality Composer Project as mine is showing up to 125MB. The file size limit is 25 MB for the Swift Student Challenge
Thanks :)
Hello,
For the Swift Student Challenge, do I need to worry about submitting a clean source code with comments? Or does Apple judge submissions solely based on their user experience with the app?
Thanks!

Im making an app that uses drag&drop but, it doesn't work.
This is made with Swift Playground.
If you can find a solution, please let me know.
Here is the code.
//MARK: Drop Area
@ViewBuilder
func DropAera()->some View{
VStack(spacing: 12){
ForEach($rows,id:\.self){$row in
HStack(spacing: 10){
ForEach($row){$item in
Text(item.value)
.font(.system(size: item.fontSize))
.padding(.vertical,5)
.padding(.horizontal,item.padding)
.opacity(item.isShowing ? 1 : 0)
.background{
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 6, style: .continuous)
.fill(item.isShowing ? .clear : .gray.opacity(0.25))
}
.background{
// If Item is Dropped into Correct Plase
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 6, style: .continuous)
.stroke(.gray)
.opacity(item.isShowing ? 1 : 0)
}
// MARK: Adding Drop Operation
// MARK: Adding Drag Drop Operation
.onDrop(of: [.url], isTargeted: .constant(false)) {
providers in
if let first = providers.first{
let _ = first.loadObject(ofClass: URL.self) {
value,error in
guard let url = value else{return}
if item.id == "\(url)"{
droppedCount += 1
let progress = (droppedCount / CGFloat(characters.count))
withAnimation{
item.isShowing = true
updateShuffledArray(character: item)
self.progress = progress
}
}
else{
//Animating When Wrong text
animateView()
}
}
}
return false
}
}
}
if rows.last != row{
Divider()
}
}
}
}

ForEach(row){item in
Text(item.value)
.font(.system(size: item.fontSize))
.padding(.vertical,5)
.padding(.horizontal,item.padding)

RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 6, style: .continuous)
.stroke(.gray)
}
// MARK: Adding Drag Drop Operation
.onDrag{
// Returning ID to find whitch Item is Moving
return .init(contentsOf: URL(string: item.id))!
}
.opacity(item.isShowing ? 0 : 1)

Hi? I want to participate Swift Student Challenge. And I am wondering is it okay to make an app which can access album?
I read Terms and Conditions and found no relevant content. Can anyone tell me whether it is possible? Thank you.
I am currently working on a project for the Swift Student Challenge. One part of the app is for visualizing goals with a chart created using Swift Charts. In the app, you log your progress for the goal and then it should show up in the chart. My issue is that the data is not showing after it has been logged. Here are some code snippets:
Code For Chart View
Chart {
let currentDate = Date.now
BarMark (
x: .value("Day", "Today"),
y: .value("Score", goalItem.getLogItemByDate(date: currentDate).score)
)
}
.frame(maxHeight: 225)
.padding()
GoalItem Data Object
public class GoalItem: Identifiable {
public var id: String
var name: String
var description: String
var logItems: [String: GoalLogItem]
init(name: String, description: String) {
self.id = UUID().uuidString
self.name = name
self.description = description
self.logItems = [:]
}
func log(date: Date, score: Double, notes: String) {
self.logItems[dateToDateString(date: date)] = GoalLogItem(date: date, score: score, notes: notes)
}
func getLogItemByDate(date: Date) -> GoalLogItem {
let logItem = self.logItems[dateToDateString(date: date)]
if logItem != nil {
return logItem!
} else {
return GoalLogItem(isPlaceholder: true)
}
}
}
After logging something using the GoalItem.log method, why does it not show up in the chart? Are the variables not updated? If so, how would I get the variables to update?
Thanks
Hello,
Does anyone know how to restrict my app playground to run on iPhones only (not even iPads) and to always be presented in portrait mode? I'm using Xcode.
Thanks for any help!

Hello,
The appearance of one of my buttons is not updating after being tapped. I have had no trouble doing the exact same thing in my other views, but here it simply doesn't work. The "heart" button will keep its original appearance (in this case an unfilled heart) no matter what, despite my print statements indicating that the value has changed. The other actions performed when tapping the heart work perfectly. I've been at it for hours.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
