Same issue ? Tried both the current and the TestFlight version (4.3.1 and 4.4 beta) , playground works but app doesn’t.

I had a similar issue where my "Playgrounds" folder on iCloud Drive was corrupted for some reason.

Simple solution:

  • Go to Settings > Apple ID (your name on top) > iCloud > iCloud Drive > Apps Syncing to iCloud Drive > Toggle Playgrounds off

More complicated solution (if you want it to sync across devices):

  • Delete Swift Playgrounds from all your devices
  • In the Files App, go to iCloud Drive and delete the Playgrounds Folder
  • Reinstall Swift Playgrounds
