Overview

  • Apple is collaborating with Anthropic to integrate the Claude Sonnet AI model into its Xcode development environment for writing, editing, testing, and debugging code.
  • The Claude-powered Xcode tool is currently being rolled out internally, with no decision yet on whether it will be made available to external developers.
  • The AI tool features a chat-based interface that allows developers to request code, test user interfaces, and locate and fix bugs efficiently.
  • This initiative follows Apple’s earlier Swift Assist project, which was shelved in 2024 due to performance concerns and misinformation risks.
  • A public unveiling of the Claude-integrated Xcode could align with Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference in June 2025, though this remains unconfirmed.
