Xcode 26 seamlessly integrates with Apple’s development tools like Swift Playgrounds, TestFlight, and Core ML, supporting multi-language programming for versatile development.

Acqui-hires feel like they're here to stay: the team behind Alex Codes, which built a popular tool that let devs use AI models within Apple's development suite Xcode, is joining OpenAI.

It sounds like Apple will embed its code-writing tool directly into the Xcode app rather than release a standalone chatbot, much like how Adobe is building AI tools right into Photoshop.
