No "print" & console

First Problem:

When i want to enter "print("To build an iPhone app we need to learn Swift") in the playground it shows ""To build an iPhone app we need to learn Swift\n"

Second Problem: The console bar doesn't appear. I get an empty left field

Thanks in advance

I think this article may help you understand.

The console thing is a tricky one. I've not got to the bottom of this. You're probably running a beta version of Xcode, rather than a released one? There have been issues with the console output disappearing that I've not yet got to the bottom of.

Let me know what you're experiencing and I'll see if I can help.

I ran in to the same problem. I was able to find some info stating that the console no longer appears in the assistant editor as of X code version 7, but in the debug field. Hope that helps!
