Apple Releases Xcode 26.1.1 With AI Coding Fixes and Swift 6.2.1 Support

The point release prioritizes stability for Coding Intelligence features after developer-reported slowdowns.

Overview

  • Apple says the Coding Assistant now uses less memory in projects with large git repositories.
  • A defect that made editor coding tools disappear or fail from menus has been fixed.
  • The assistant’s “find text in file” results no longer misreport line numbers, preventing faulty replacements.
  • Interactions with ChatGPT during code changes should perform more smoothly, according to the release notes.
  • Background indexing now completes reliably for affected projects, and developers can capture a full device sysdiagnose via xcrun devicectl.
