At WWDC 2024, Apple introduced several updates and features related to playgrounds. In the session titled "Evolve your document launch experience," it was highlighted that the new launch experience has been adopted by Playgrounds for iPadOS. This experience includes features such as a character named Byte from Swift Playgrounds, which guides and encourages developers as they learn Swift. The app opens a selection of coding tutorials and allows users to create new apps and open the editor with the tap of a button. The background of the app can be customized with a plain color, gradient, image, or custom view.
Additionally, in the "Platforms State of the Union" session, it was mentioned that playgrounds can be integrated into apps to create engaging experiences, alongside new productivity features and APIs.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the session Evolve your document launch experience (01:08) and Platforms State of the Union (52:22).
