Swift Playgrounds 4 with Frank Foster (iPad Pros - 0132)

Frank Foster is a developer who was given early access to Swift Playgrounds 4. This update provides the ability to write, test, and publish an iPhone or iPad app entirely from the iPad. In this episode we discuss his experiences over the past month developing an app in Playgrounds both on a new M1 iPad Pro and a very old iPad Air 2. You can find Frank’s blog post about his experiences at FrankEFoster.com.
