GitHub Copilot for Xcode

GitHub Copilot (opens in a new tab) for Xcode is the leading AI coding assistant for Swift, Objective-C and iOS/macOS development. It delivers intelligent Completions, Chat, and Code Review—plus advanced features like Agent Mode, Next Edit Suggestions, MCP Registry, and Copilot Vision to make Xcode development faster and smarter.

Starting from version v0.50.0, we have added internal support for the upcoming usage-based billing experience, including experience updates to the usage panel, usage notifications, and model picker. These changes will become visible once usage-based billing is rolled out.

To ensure compatibility with the new billing experience, we strongly recommend upgrading to the latest plugin version as soon as possible:

• GitHub Copilot for Xcode: v0.50.0 or later

Clients using older plugin versions will continue to function. However, the billing and usage experience may not be optimal and may not accurately reflect the latest usage-based billing experience.

Chat

GitHub Copilot Chat provides suggestions to your specific coding tasks via chat.

Agent Mode

GitHub Copilot Agent Mode provides AI-powered assistance that can understand and modify your codebase directly. With Agent Mode, you can:

• Get intelligent code edits applied directly to your files
• Run terminal commands and view their output without leaving the interface
• Search through your codebase to find relevant files and code snippets
• Create new files and directories as needed for your project
• Get assistance with enhanced context awareness across multiple files and folders
