GitHub Copilot for Xcode is the leading AI coding assistant for Swift, Objective-C and iOS/macOS development. It delivers intelligent Completions, Chat, and Code Review—plus advanced features like Agent Mode, Next Edit Suggestions, MCP Registry, and Copilot Vision to make Xcode development faster and smarter.

Chat

Agent Mode

GitHub Copilot Agent Mode provides AI-powered assistance that can understand and modify your codebase directly. With Agent Mode, you can:

• Get intelligent code edits applied directly to your files
• Run terminal commands and view their output without leaving the interface
• Search through your codebase to find relevant files and code snippets
• Create new files and directories as needed for your project
• Get assistance with enhanced context awareness across multiple files and folders
• Run Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools you configured to extend the capabilities

Agent Mode integrates with Xcode's environment, creating a seamless development experience where Copilot can help implement features, fix bugs, and refactor code with comprehensive understanding of your project.

Code Completion

You can receive auto-complete type suggestions from GitHub Copilot either by starting to write the code you want to use, or by writing a natural language comment describing what you want the code to do. <img alt="Code Completion of GitHub Copilot for Xcode" src="./Docs/Images/demo.gif" width="800" />
