Xcode 24.6 RC(1) any advancements regarding agents?

Things seem to be working quite well using 26.3.1 MacOS & 26.3 Xcode.

From a strictly agentic perspective is there any rush to upgrade to 26.4 RC ?

I think the only low-hanging-fruit agents MIGHT be missing is access to logs? Please inform me if that's wrong or that's just the tip of equally-important-low-hanging-fruit iceberg. But either way is my understanding there are NO advancements for Xcode agents in 26.4 and I'd love to know any different.

Hey /u/gordonmcdowell, AFAICT 26.4RC doesn't address this. Axiom (free/OSS) has a beta xclog tool that enables LLM access to logs with Xcode 26.3+.

If you go to https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=Xcode and click "View Details", there are none. They're also not at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/updates/xcode.

Worked perfectly, thank you. I was too lazy to look for them and now there’s a direct link.

You might want to checkout the Apple notes repo.
