The editor of Downcodes learned that GitHub has brought a major update to Mac developers—the Xcode preview version of GitHub Copilot is officially launched! This marks the official entry of this AI-based coding assistant into the Apple ecosystem, bringing a smarter and more efficient coding experience to Swift and Objective-C developers. Copilot helps developers speed up the development process and improve code quality by providing functions such as code completion, multi-line suggestions, and content filtering. This update will undoubtedly further improve developers' programming efficiency in Xcode, and is worthy of attention and try by all Mac developers.
GitHub Copilot is now available for many IDEs, including Android Studio and Visual Studio Code. This Xcode integration gives it wider coverage and further consolidates its leading position as an AI coding assistant. Developers can use code completion and multi-line suggestions, as well as content filtering, and support multiple programming languages such as Swift and Objective-C. To experience this feature, you need to have a valid Copilot license and follow the steps on the GitHub website. In addition, Xcode16 also comes with AI-based code prediction function, which developers can choose to use according to their own needs.
