Swift playgrounds with UIImage

Question

I am working with Xcode 6, and I\'m trying to recreate the code demoed during session 401 \"What\'s new in Xcode 6\". I\'ve added an image to Images.xcassets (called Sample)

Answer 1

I had some trouble with this also.

Unfortunately, Chris' answer didn't work for me. I suspect perhaps a later beta release of Xcode 6 may have removed this setting.

Here's a solution as of Xcode 6.0 beta 4 (6A267N) available 21st July 2014. I would guess that this corresponds to the "Inside playground" option previously. That is where the Resources folder is within the playground package itself.

Here's how to set this up.

Using Finder - or if you're like me and use the awesome Path Finder - right select and choose Show Package Contents as follows:

That reveals the packages Resources folder:

Copying the image files into that folder will do the business:

let imageNames = ["back-button", "background", "bg_top"]
let images = imageNames.map { UIImage(named: $0) }
