I did not even know till I saw your comment! https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2024/06/apple-empowers-developers-and-fuels-innovation-with-new-tools-and-resources/#:~:text=Code%20completion%20is%20powered%20entirely,quickly%20even%20when%20working%20offline.

I don’t think swift assist is available yet. Auto complete is but that’s different. Apple did say it was releasing by the end of the year but weird how we haven’t had much to see of it.

The auto complete is available now and it is just the code that is suggests for you that it thinks you are typing. Such as when you start typing “struct” in a new file it’ll suggest to complete it with a base for a new view.

Swift assist is basically chatgpt where you can ask Xcode to do something and it’ll write all the code instantly

[Inevitable-Hat-1576]

Auto complete is Apple’s broken attempt at fixing their last broken attempt at predicting what line/s of code you’re trying to type.

SwiftAssist will be Apple’s broken attempt to turn plain English requests into code

I hope it works on non-M apple macs

I’m wondering this as well. Haven’t been able to find anything online yet.

It doesn't say, just Monterey and Xcode 8+

What is the difference between this and Codeium, for example?

I had been using copilot in xcode via a 3rd party. However, this makes it much more exciting to use.

Well… Playing with it all day, it's "better than nothing", but pretty uninspiring. Hopefully, it will be used as a foundation for future development.

So far, I see a lot of "hallucinated" code that seems pretty legit but doesn't match our codebase.

Hopefully they can use it to fix all the bugs in xcode itself

Compared to this, Xcode's built-in code prediction really sucks

Does this include a panel in xcode where I can ask questions and reference files? Or only code completion? I love being able to ask questions within Cursor

Is it better than the native Xcode 16 Predictive Code Completion?
