Playgrounds on Xcode

Hi, I am trying to follow along with the new Swift Basics course. I have downloaded Xcode but the version I have got is Version 5.1.1 so the playground option is not available. Is Xcode 6.0.1 being used here or do I have to have the Yosemite OS installed as well as Xcode 6.1 beta 2 for OS X Yosemite?

Okay thanks,

It's just that Amit show himself downloading it from the app store so I thought that it would be there as he shows in his course. Anyway I am downloading it now.

Thanks

If you look closely you will notice that the download Amit shows is for Xcode 5.1, but when he starts using it's 6.0 actually. A difference in icon design can be also spotted.

You'll be pleased to know that Xcode 6.0 as well as 6.1 beta for Yosemite is now available to download. https://developer.apple.com/xcode/downloads/

The version Amit was using in the tutorial is now available on the app store.
