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

The update focuses on stabilizing developer workflows affected by early Coding Intelligence issues.

Overview

  • Apple adds support for Swift 6.2.1 in the bundled toolchain.
  • Coding Intelligence receives targeted fixes, including reduced memory use on large repositories, restored editor tools, corrected find-in-file line numbers, and smoother ChatGPT-driven code changes.
  • The release resolves a bug that could prevent background indexing from completing for some projects.
  • Developers can now collect a full device sysdiagnose via the devicectl command using xcrun devicectl device sysdiagnose.
  • Apple notes remaining issues, including first-boot Simulator failures after a macOS upgrade with a simctl cache update workaround and an Address Sanitizer incompatibility with hardware memory tagging.
