Xcode 6 Playground

Yo!

Anyone else having problems with Xcode 6 playgrounds? Mine is being pretty nasty. Basically, it's not working.

"Error running playground. An error occurred while trying to communicate with a helper application. You may need to restart Xcode before playgrounds will run again. "

Even after restarting it's rinse and repeat. If anyone else has had the same problem, did you figure out a fix?

Thank you

Restarted my computer and playground seems to be working fine now.

Force quitting Xcode also helps if you don't want to completely restart your machine. :-)

I keep getting the same error over and over and over again.... quitting xCode then re-opening fixes it for about 5 minutes, but then the error pops up over and over again. Very frustrating.... Maybe it's the version I'm using (Version 6.3)?

I haven't had that error in months. I'm not currently running latest release of Xcode. I know it's a pain, but try deleting Xcode and reinstalling if it stil persists
