Copilot for Xcode0.38.0

Copilot for Xcode adds code suggestions directly to Xcode’s source editor, helping developers write and complete code without leaving their project. It brings GitHub Copilot, Codeium, and ChatGPT support into Xcode through one source editor extension. A built-in chat experience, modification commands, and prompt-to-code actions let users ask for changes or generate code from natural-language instructions.

Custom Commands extend the chat and modification tools for project-specific workflows. Setup involves placing the app in the Applications folder, opening it once, enabling the source editor extension, granting Accessibility API permission, and configuring accounts, models, key bindings, and optional global hotkeys. The host app can reveal the extension service in Finder, while a launch agent starts the background service that performs the extension’s work.

GitHub Copilot use requires Node to run the Copilot language server and an active GitHub Copilot subscription; Codeium use requires an active Codeium account. Chat and prompt-to-code features require a valid OpenAI API key, along with access to the relevant language models. Users concerned about key logging can inspect the code, including references such as CGEvent.tapCreate, AXObserver, and AX___.

It runs on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs with macOS 13 Ventura or later and suits developers who want AI-assisted completion, discussion, and code transformation inside Xcode. Version 0.38.0 is freeware, with its combination of several AI providers and customizable Xcode commands distinguishing it from a single-service editor extension.
