What to do if your Xcode playground won't run

Sometimes an Xcode playground just refuses to run and is stuck in "Running..." or building.

In this case try the following:

  1. Switch the Playground over to macOS (right hand side inspector)
  2. Try quiting Xcode, Simulator
  3. Quit or Force quit any Simulator processes still running (from Activity Monitor)
  4. Restart Xcode
