Has anyone managed to get a playground running in Xcode 15.0 beta 3?

For me, a macOS playground gives an error: "Couldn't communicate with a helper application". An iOS playground just spins its progress wheel for ever and does nothing. This is with 2 brand new, un-edited playgrounds.

@troz I was able to open an existing macOS playground and run it fine under Xcode 15 beta 3 …

Also tried creating a brand new macOS playground and that too works fine.

@f Interesting. I tried restarting the MacBook but that didn’t change anything. Perhaps I should re-install Xcode.

@troz Maybe? I don’t know … Some of the Xcode stuff is rather annoying.

I guess what I’d normally try in this situation is uninstall the beta, reboot, install a fresh copy of the beta, reboot, then restart the beta copy, and if something goes wrong, restart again and try again 😛

Oh yeah, I also liberally sprinkle this with deleting the whole DerivedData folder since cached modules sometimes seems to interfere with things too … Or at least, that’s what it feels like.

Update: Xcode 15 beta 4 solves the problem. Playgrounds now run and the developer docs even scroll without crashing Xcode!
