Apple Launches Xcode 26.3, Brings Even More AI Power to Coding on Mac
Xcode 26.3 RC integrates Anthropic Claude and OpenAI Codex to automate coding tasks, enhancing developer productivity with native AI tools and model selection features.
- Apple, Inc. has integrated Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex into Xcode 26.3, available as a release candidate to Apple Developer Program members with an App Store release coming soon.
- Bloomberg reported Apple pivoted to team up with Anthropic to develop a new AI coding tool after delays, following its decision last month to use Google Gemini.
- AI agents in Xcode can write and modify code, run tests, detect errors and search Apple's developer documentation, while users must link developer accounts and select from a drop-down model selector with two model options.
- Susan Prescott said the integration will `supercharge productivity and creativity, streamlining the development workflow,` and it positions Xcode against standalone coding assistants as OpenAI released a Codex macOS app.
- Apple is making Xcode capabilities available via the industry standard MCP and worked with third parties to maximize token usage for efficiency and lower costs.

Xcode 26.3 Agentic Coding: 7 Powerful Ways Apps Go Inclusive
Highlights Apple’s Xcode 26.3 release candidate, launched on February 3, 2026, ushers in agentic coding—a game-changer in which AI agents like Anthropic’s Claude Agent and OpenAI’s Codex independently tackle complex app development tasks. Building on Xcode 26’s Swift coding assistant, these agents explore project files, search documentation, adjust settings, capture Xcode Previews, run builds, and […]
Why Apple, Anthropic Might Be the Real Winners of the AI Disruption Era
While software stocks were melting down yesterday, Apple quietly dropped something that might explain the chaos. Xcode 26.3 now ships with full Claude Agent SDK integration, giving millions of iOS developers an autonomous AI copilot. This means Claude can now work autonomously on long-running tasks: exploring your project’s file structure, understanding how SwiftUI and UIKit connect, then making changes across multiple files to achieve a goal. G…
