If you wanted to use Apple’s Swift Playgrounds to develop apps for iOS devices, you would typically need to use a Mac in order to do so (although there are other ways of developing apps). However, for those who work on the go and don’t necessarily have a MacBook, you’re in luck.

This is because Apple has since released Swift Playgrounds 4, an app for the iPad and Mac. With this latest version of Swift Playgrounds, users will now be able to design and create their apps using their iPads and submit them to Apple directly from the tablet itself, instead of having to use their Mac computers to do so.

This is pretty handy for developers who might constantly have their iPads with them versus a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, or for developers who have their iPads on them and want to do a bit of coding instead of having to wait to go home and get on their Mac computers.

Swift Playgrounds 4 was initially announced at WWDC 2021 earlier this year, but was ultimately delayed until now. For developers who are interested in checking out the app, you will be able to download the latest version from the App Store. Keep in mind that you will need to have an iPad that has iPadOS 15.2 or later, so if you own a particularly old iPad that doesn’t support the latest iOS update, then you’re out of luck.

Swift Playgrounds 4 Will Let Developers Create Apps On Their iPads

Several months ago, Apple made a surprising announcement when they revealed their plans to implement a new photo scanning feature that would identify potential CSAM. The idea behind it was noble and obviously a good thing as it could crack down on these types of illegal content and activity, but at the same time, many users felt uncomfortable at the idea of Apple scanning their photos.

There was a lot of backlash to the announcement, and while Apple initially defended their decision, they slowly backtracked on it to the point where any reference to the feature has since been scrubbed from its website, as noted by Florian Schimanke.

According to the post, references to CSAM scans were still present on Apple’s website last Friday, but it now appears to have been removed. However, this does not mean that Apple is done with the feature. As 9to5Mac states, it is possible that Apple could have simply removed the references while they reworked their plan to better appease the masses.

Like we said, CSAM scanning is a good thing but there were concerns about the implications of the tech. This is because Apple would rely on the use of a hash to search for relevant data, and some believe it could potentially be abused by governments who might try to slip in other data to search for information and identify minority groups, political dissidents, political opponents, and more.

Whether or not the feature will ultimately return in a different form remains to be seen.

If you own cryptocurrency like bitcoin, there’s a good chance you’ve been watching the price of the crypto rise and fall. Depending on when you got into the game, you could be sitting on a small fortune, but it appears that due to a glitch on Coinbase and CoinMarketCap, it turned all cryptocurrency owners on the platforms into instant millionaires.

Basically, the glitch caused the displayed value of bitcoin to be worth $878 billion, and as a result, many owners were suddenly seeing their accounts rise into the millions, billions, and in some cases, trillions of dollars. It not only affected bitcoin, but it has also affected other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum and Ripple.

Unfortunately, this was obviously too good to be true and many had reached out to the platforms to ask them about it. In a tweet by Coinbase, the company said, “We’re aware some customers are seeing inflated values for non-tradable crypto assets on Coinbase.com and Coinbase Wallet. This is a display issue only and does not impact trading.”

CoinMarketCap also said that they are investigating what caused the pricing error and also denied that they might have been hacked. That being said, this seems to have only affected those two platforms and if you’re trading bitcoin on other exchanges, you probably weren’t affected.
