Unable to download courses for Swift playground on Macbook

Hi

I downloaded Swift playgrounds on Macbook Air M1 model as I want to start down the road of developing apps for Apple devices. When I load the app, when I select any of the options like Learn Code, Learn apps or learn machine language, I am presented with an option to download the tutorial for any of the previously mentioned options. When I click on the button labeled Get, it starts to download then the button goes back to Get and it is stuck and won't download any of the course content. I have made sure that my Mac is up to date as of this morning and I am signed into the developer account and Apple books is signed in with the same account so I do not know what the problem is.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance,

Harold

PS

Where can I go to change my username? Someone helped me set up my account here and chose the name at random and I would like to make it something better than what it currently is!!!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.5

Am not a developer, and it seems your question may have received expert answers in the Developer forums

Wondering if you might want to check out the: Xcode | Apple Developer Documentation

as it mentions the built in Swiftt UI.preview tools.

Eg: says:

"Xcode is a suite of tools developers use to build apps for Apple platforms. Use Xcode to manage your entire development workflow — from creating your app to testing, optimizing, and submitting it to the App

Store.

Xcode includes a world-class code editor, built in SwiftUI preview tools that show the UI of your app as you modify code, and a powerful debugger with conditional breakpoints."
