Hello, developers!

Xcode 26.3 unlocks the power of agentic coding! Get ready to explore new features that released last Tuesday. If you haven't already, you can download Xcode 26.3 from the Apple Developer Downloads page

Check out the official documentation for getting started and how to configure agents in Xcode:

‎

Writing code with intelligence in Xcode

Generate code, fix bugs fast, and learn as you go with intelligence built directly into Xcode https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/writing-code-with-intelligence-in-xcode/

‎

Setting up coding intelligence

Enable third-party coding tools that you want to use in the coding assistant https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/setting-up-coding-intelligence

‎

Giving external agentic coding tools access to Xcode

Let agentic coding tools access your project and Xcode capabilities using the Model Context Protocol https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/giving-agentic-coding-tools-access-to-xcode

‎

Code-along: Experiment with coding intelligence in Xcode 26

Presented live at a Meet with Apple event: Learn how coding intelligence features can help you write code and fix errors with example prompts and resources.

In the recent past, I used Chat GPT to make my app compliant with Concurrency and it worked like a champ. I was shocked actually at how well it worked. I have 2 other apps which I fixed by hand. I just tried agentic coding with Claude Agent. I thought I'd create a basic recipe app, not to sell, but to get my feet wet. I wanted it to have cloudKit support and Swift Data. There were several errors during the process and I gave Claude Agent the error messages. After a number of iterations, it finally converged on a solution which allowed me to create a recipe, add ingredients and instructions and save the result. I didn't type one line of code. On the one hand, I was greatly encouraged. On the other hand, I have been an iOS programmer since 2008, in a hobby manner, and It kind of feels like someone off the street could accomplish what I've spend years studying to achieve. The result is that I had better come up to speed with agnatic coding and become an expert, because the genie is out of the bottle with this and there is no turning back.
