Can Swift Playgrounds create Apps on Apple Ipads?

out of curiosity I installed Swift Playgrounds on my iPad (ca. 2 years old, latest version of iOS installed). I can open the sample projects that come with it, but when I add my own app using the "+" sign, I only get an error message "Unsupported file format." when attempting to edit the newly created app.

This, I'm afraid, answers the original question "Can Swift Playgrounds create Apps on Apple Ipads?" for me in a rather unexpected manner: No, it can't be used to create Apps, it can't actually be used for anything ;-)

From what I have seen, it should be possible to write code, but I wasn't sure if an app could be created. If it won't even write code, that is unexpected.
Right now, I am glad I didn't buy an ipad yet.
