GitHub Copilot is now available in Xcode's coding assistant (public preview)

#Copilot#Xcode#Apple#Public preview

You can now work with GitHub Copilot directly in Xcode’s built-in coding assistant. The integration is in public preview, available starting with Xcode 27.3 beta.

Details

  • Another option: The existing GitHub Copilot for Xcode extension remains a separate choice, so you can pick the workflow you prefer.
  • Requirements: Xcode 27.3 beta from Apple Developer Downloads and a Mac running macOS Tahoe 26.6 or later.
  • Setup: Open Xcode > Settings > Intelligence and set up GitHub Copilot in the coding assistant.
  • Plans: All Copilot plans are supported.
  • Feedback: Via the GitHub Copilot for Xcode repository or Apple Feedback Assistant.

What happened next

This brings Copilot into the native Xcode workflow rather than relying only on a third-party extension. A general availability date and the list of supported models are not disclosed in the announcement.
