"Apple is building OpenAI and Anthropic's AI-powered coding agents directly into Xcode. New integrations in Xcode 26.3 will give developers the ability to call upon Anthropic's Claude Agent and OpenAI's Codex to write and edit code, update project settings, search documentation, and more. Xcode is the software developers can use to create and test apps for the iPhone, Mac, iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple TV."
"Both Claude and ChatGPT were previously available inside Xcode, but this latest update will allow AI agents to take action inside the app, rather than just provide coding assistance. Apple is also making Xcode available through the Model Context Protocol, an open-source standard that will enable developers to plug other AI tools into the app. The news of Apple's Xcode update comes just one day after OpenAI launched its AI-powered Codex app on Mac, which lets developers write code alongside a team of AI agents."
Apple is integrating OpenAI's Codex and Anthropic's Claude Agent into Xcode 26.3, enabling AI agents to write and edit code, update project settings, search documentation, and perform other in-editor actions. Xcode runs on macOS and supports development and testing for iPhone, Mac, iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple TV apps. Claude and ChatGPT had previously provided coding assistance inside Xcode; the new agent integrations allow those tools to take direct actions inside projects. Xcode will support the open-source Model Context Protocol so developers can plug additional AI tools into the IDE. Xcode 26.3 will be available to Apple Developer Program members immediately, with an App Store release coming soon.
