I’m starting on the Metal by Tutorials - and stuck on the first chapter. The code in the playground causes the message: LLDB RPC Server has crashed when the device.makeLibrary function is called.
Seems to be an issue with Xcode 16.1.
The provided playgrounds work no problem. However, if I create a playground from scratch in Xcode 16.1 - I can’t get it to work.
Is Xcode 16.1 supported?
I’m not sure what to suggest. It worked when I went through immediately after WWDC on Xcode 16.0.
I’m using Xcode 16.2 beta and it crashes.
There seems to be a long history of this happening:
Playgrounds also have a long history of bad things happening.
Perhaps for the time being, you could load the playground that works, delete the code and go through the chapter using that playground?
Within the Xcode 16 playgrounds, the contents.xcplayground looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<playground version='7.0' target-platform='macos' swift-version='6' buildActiveScheme='true' importAppTypes='true'/>
When I remove the swift-version attribute it works.
Excellent find. Thank you for reporting back.
