About

Xcode 26 introduced coding intelligence that pairs an on-device predictive completion model, trained specifically for Swift and Apple SDKs, with third-party cloud LLMs: developers can choose among Anthropic and OpenAI's coding models and agents directly in the IDE, alongside local on-device completion that needs no network. Coding Tools bring Writing-Tools-style rewriting, documentation, and error fixing into the source editor, and agentic coding arrived with Xcode 26.3 and expands in Xcode 27, where coding agents run powered by the model of the user's choice. All of this is built into Xcode rather than delivered through an extension, at no extra cost beyond the applicable model subscriptions. Its audience is Apple-platform developers already working in Xcode.
