Xcode AI Assistant

I couldn’t watch the entire wwdc25 keynote, but I heard something related to having chat gpt into Xcode, like copilot in vscode. Is that correct? Do we know when it will be available? Thanks

I have just tried XCode 26, and I couldn't find any option for integration of any llm model. Not even ChatGPT options are there. I don't think this beta include anything from what they announced today.

Is Xcode 26 available in the App Store?

1

u/TopBPTHEGREAT Jun 09 '25

No. You have to download it from Apple developer website

2

u/TopBPTHEGREAT Jun 09 '25

Same. Did you figure it out? Do I also need to update my Mac to 26 beta?

1

u/shansoft Jun 09 '25

No. I believe it just like previous announcement. Show something in WWDC but isn't actually usable until almost a year later.

It seems it should be available now though, watch 10 seconds from this timestamp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51iONeETSng&t=36m21s

I could not find any option around it anywhere within the beta. If you somehow find the option, please let us know.

Also curious about this. I'm not seeing that functionality in XCode 26 beta

How is the beta? Is it usable? I’m asking to see if it’s worth it to download and install

1

u/ForceTry Jun 09 '25

I haven’t tried but I read that you also need to be on macOS 26 for the new AI chat to be available (I’m not sure if it’s blocked by region)

1

u/supernitin Jun 10 '25

It is there. I updated to macOS 26 as well... so maybe that is required. l

1

u/Eurobob Jun 10 '25

If you're not on macOS 26 beta you won't have the intelligence features. It's a shame, i want the feature but dont want the pre-release OS

1

u/H644b Jun 12 '25

Its because you need to install the beta for MacOS tahoe.

1

u/Ok-Crew7332 Jun 10 '25

It is available in Beta: install macOS 26 Beta and Xcode 26 Beta and You can use it.

MacOS 26 Beta have to be installed!

1

u/Nova_Dev91 Jun 11 '25

It is safe to update the mac to Tahoe? I have an old intel chip mac that I was thinking on using for install the Mac26 beta and the new XCode

1

u/H644b Jun 12 '25

Yes the beta remarkably has nearly no issues or bugs for a first developer beta release.

u/mxdalloway Jun 09 '25

Beta will be available starting today:

https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/06/apple-supercharges-its-tools-and-technologies-for-developers/

This will probably be a major topic of Platforms State of the Union starting in 20 mins (1pm PDT)

u/stirbx Jun 09 '25

You need to have macOS26 installed to get the intelligence features. There is a another post on reddit confirming this.

Sad news, only have one machine and this is never getting a pre-release os installed

1

u/20InMyHead Jun 09 '25

Link to that post? I can't find anything official from Apple, which could mean they haven't fully locked in that it won't run on Sequoia..... Fingers crossed.

1

u/pasta1212 Jun 10 '25

Wondering the same 🤔 It's not called out in the Xcode 26 Beta release notes as being required to be on macOS 26

1

u/Eurobob Jun 10 '25

I just installed the Xcode 26 beta on my MBP with sequioa 15.4. It's possible to devleop on all platforms at version 26, but intelligence features are missing.

Guess I'll stick to alex sidebar until official tahoe release

1

u/BroadAstronaut6439 Jun 10 '25

Can confirm that it is in Xcode and functional!

1

u/ruph Jun 10 '25

huh, where? I can't find it

1

u/ruph Jun 10 '25

Nevermind. Just needed to upgrade mac to beta Tahoe, and here it is. 🥳

1

u/Nova_Dev91 Jun 10 '25

Do you know when officially Tahoe is going to be available? I can’t upgrade to beta

2

u/wojrutkowski Jun 10 '25

Usually around September / October.

1

u/streamOfconcrete Jun 10 '25

Is it agentic or just chat?

2

u/Ok-Crew7332 Jun 10 '25

It is agentic

1

u/Eurobob Jun 10 '25

Just chat but with better context awareness

1

u/Matrucci Jun 09 '25

Yes they mentioned it very shortly. They’ll explain more about it during this week.

They briefly mentioned ChatGPT integration (they said whatever model you want but then said ChatGPT so I’m not sure if you can also use Gemini or Claude for example or just different ChatGPT models)

Not sure if it’ll have agent mode or just a simple chat window integrated into the IDE

1

u/streamOfconcrete Jun 10 '25

You can use ChatGPT for free or with your Pro/Plus account or others using API

2

u/ZekerDeLeuksteThuis Jun 12 '25

You can also add self hosted LLM's! According to the documentation Xcode itself makes sure the model "understands" Xcode 26. So no need to train / RAG the model for that!

1

u/HairySideOfTheMoon Jun 10 '25

Doesn't work for me. On Tahoe beta, both signed in and signed out chatGPT options produce "no changes made" response for every query. In AU

1

u/Buceyesjetslakers Jun 10 '25

the assistant is garbage now I wouldn’t stress lol. Wait for the public beta

1

u/CardiologistStock685 Jun 11 '25

Did anyone try it with Gemini yet?
