IPad Playground Has Different View.Frame

This is the solution I used which got it to work. In Swift Playgrounds, the layout is created in the viewDidLayoutSubview method so all frames should be created there.

Swift Playgrounds on iPad Not Working with SwiftUI code as Expected

I faced the same issue and I just found out that setting « Show results » to false was fixing it.

My iPad runs on iOS 14.6. I hope that the new Swift playgrounds with iOS 15 will fix this issue definitely.

SwiftUI on Xcode Playground vs Swift Playground - different outputs

On the iPad, you are running in Dark Mode, and that is making the default background of the view black. Also, the iPad Swift Playgrounds provides a frame in which the view runs. This frame varies if you switch between portrait and landscape mode, but in either case it is providing a frame in which to draw.

In Playgrounds in Xcode, the view is just taking up a minimum of size.

You can get a similar look in Xcode by providing a .frame and using a Color.black background:

import SwiftUI
import PlaygroundSupport

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        VStack{
            ZStack {
                Color.white
                Text("hello World")
                    .foregroundColor(.black)
                
            }
            .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.vertical)
            Circle()
                .foregroundColor(.blue)
        }
        .frame(width: 500, height: 600)
        .background(Color.black)
    }
}

PlaygroundPage.current.setLiveView(ContentView())
