Codex is now available in Xcode 26.3 Work through complex tasks with more autonomy by breaking down tasks, searching Apple docs, exploring file structures, updating settings, and capturing Previews as you iterate Available in the Xcode 26.3 release candidate [video]

So Xcode manages its own Codex installation (and makes you download it). Not using your system one. [image]

I am happy with this release of Xcode 26.3; I was not expecting them to have this integration directly with Claude/Codex so we can directly use our subscriptions [image]

hot take: Apple is going to be a big winner in AI - native apps are naturally easier to vibe code, you only break things for individual users - apple ecosystem connects to a bunch of extremely important data like health and messaging that makes AI better - everyone's buying a Mac…

Honestly so cool (and necessary!) to see Xcode break from only releasing large updates once a year to just releasing great stuff throughout the year!

Apple has released an MCP server as part of Xcode 26.3! It extends the IDE and requires the IDE to be running and your project open. It can: - Browse + search the Xcode project structure (ls/glob/grep) - Read/write/edit/move/delete files and create groups/dirs [...] Looks reall…

Xcode 26.3 launched today with a native integration with the Claude Agent SDK, the same harness that powers Claude Code. Devs get the full power of Claude Code (subagents, background tasks, and plugins) for long-running, autonomous work directly in Xcode 🤖

I've made some changes with Codex within Xcode, and yes, this is a very comfortable workflow if you work in Xcode all day and don't want to switch to anything else. Now you have access to the best coding agent right within Xcode with a good UX and DX too.
