Today, GitHub revealed that its AI-powered coding assistant, Copilot, is now accessible within Xcode, opening new possibilities for Apple developers. Available as a public preview, this integration offers Apple developers real-time coding assistance within their familiar Xcode environment, aiming to streamline their workflow and elevate productivity.
GitHub highlights that Copilot’s capabilities will make coding more intuitive and efficient for users working on iOS, macOS, and other Apple platforms.
Copilot for Xcode brings an array of advanced features to support various stages of the coding process. Developers can enjoy intelligent code completion, capable of offering precise, multi-line suggestions that span languages like Swift and Objective-C.
Additionally, with a built-in content filtering option, Copilot ensures that suggestions meet professional standards, allowing developers to block any recommendations resembling existing public code, thereby maintaining originality in their projects.
To use Copilot with Xcode, developers need a Copilot license, which starts at $10 per month or $100 per year. The integration can be set up by installing the Copilot extension within Xcode. GitHub has launched this feature in a preview mode and is actively encouraging feedback from users to refine the tool further.
With Copilot now in Xcode, Apple developers can look forward to an enhanced, more supportive coding experience tailored to the demands of modern software development.
