Adding Resources and Sources folders to Playgrounds

Until they’re fixed, you may have to add them by hand.

1. Right-click/control-click.
2. Show package contents
3. You can add new Resources and Sources files at the top level
4. Alternatively, navigate down to individual pages (which are finally in Beta 3!) by showing their package contents and add them there

Fortunately under Beta 3 you don’t have to manually add pages, as the new page functionality is finally back.

Creating New Playgrounds

They’re no longer listed in the File > New dialog. Instead choose File > New > Playground (Command-Shift-Option-N) or open “Welcome to Xcode” (Command-Shift-1) and click “Get started with a playground”.

Most of the obvious alternatives (like Command-Control-N, which creates new workspaces) are already taken, but if you don’t mind using the menu for that, I think it’s a nicer key binding for “New Playground”. If you want to mess with this open prefs (Command-comma), type playgrounds into the search field, and edit the key binding for “New > Playground”

Don’t forget that new playground page is “Command-Option-N”.
