Overview
- Apple is collaborating with Anthropic to integrate the Claude Sonnet AI model into Xcode for code writing, editing, and testing.
- The Claude-powered Xcode is currently being tested internally by Apple employees, with no decision yet on a public release.
- This move follows delays in Apple’s in-house Swift Assist AI tool, which faced accuracy and performance issues during testing.
- The Claude integration includes a chat interface to assist developers with coding requests, user interface testing, and debugging.
- Apple may announce the tool's broader availability at WWDC in June if internal testing proves successful.
