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.
