How to change the size of the Xcode Playground Simulator when using live view?

I created a Swift Playground on my iPad and did all of my graphics positioning on the iPad simulator. Does anyone know how to edit the size of the Xcode playground simulator? Thanks in advance.

SwiftUI Solution

if you're using the SwiftUI on Xcode Playground Simulator when using live view... You can basically set the frame size before setting the Live View.

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Spacer()
            Text("Test")
            Spacer()
        }
        .frame(width: 700, height: 700, alignment: .center)
    }
}

PlaygroundPage.current.setLiveView(ContentView())

That's it!

import PlaygroundSupport
import UIKit

let viewController = UIViewController()
viewController.view.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 320, height: 568)
PlaygroundPage.current.liveView = viewController

Seems to me this is the only working example at the moment (Xcode 12.5). Setting the view.frame is the key here.

let vc = ViewController()
vc.view.frame.size = CGSize(width: 375, height: 667)
PlaygroundPage.current.liveView = vc.view

To change the size of a playground's liveView, set the preferredContentSize of the viewController.

import PlaygroundSupport
import UIKit

let viewController = UIViewController()
viewController.preferredContentSize = CGSize(width: 600, height: 600)
PlaygroundPage.current.liveView = viewController
