I like to work out small examples on the iPad. It’s not ready to replace Xcode but you can certainly work out small examples. At some point I’ll move my code to Xcode to continue.

By the way, I’ve created a Github repo with two dozens basic examples that should help anyone who likes to learn from code:

It all compiles in Swift 4 without warnings on Xcode 9.

I have a feeling we are going to see a bigger push for development work on the iPad this upcoming year. Xcode 9 took a huge chunk from the iPad Swift Playgrounds app (mainly the new source editor.)

Being able to edit storyboards and wire up view connections on my iPad would be awesome.
