Xcode 26.3 adds agentic coding support

Apple is enabling agentic coding within Xcode in the latest version of the development platform (version 26.3).

Developers will now be able to use Anthropic’s Claude Agent and OpenAI’s Codex directly in Xcode.

“With seamless access to Claude Agent and Codex, developers can bring the advanced reasoning of these models directly into their app-building workflow. This connection combines the power of these agents with Xcode’s native capabilities to provide the best results when developing for Apple platforms, giving developers the flexibility to work with the model that best fits their project,” Apple wrote in an announcement.

These agents will be able to do tasks like search documentation, explore file structures, update project settings, and verify work visually through Xcode Preview captures, the company explained.

“With agentic coding, Xcode can work with greater autonomy toward a developer’s goals — from breaking down tasks to making decisions based on the project architecture and using built-in tools,” Apple wrote.

Apple is also making Xcode 26.3’s capabilities available through MCP to provide developers with more choice in what tools or agents they want to use with Xcode if they want to work with agents other than Claude Agent or Codex.

Xcode 26.3 is now available to members of the Apple Developer Program, and it will be available on the App Store soon.

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are dec...

October 2025: AI updates from the past month

OpenAI announces agentic security researcher that can find and fix vulnerabilities OpenAI has released a private beta for a new AI agent called Aardvark that acts as a security researcher, finding vulnerabilities and applying fixes, at scale. “Software security is one of the most critical—and challenging—frontiers in technology. Each year, tens of thousands of new vulnerabilities are discovered across enterprise and open-source codebases. Defenders face the daunting tasks of finding and patching vulnerabilities before their adversaries do. At OpenAI, we are working to tip that balance in favor of defenders,” OpenAI wrote in a blog post . The agent continuously analyzes source code repositories to identify vulnerabilities, assess their exploitability, prioritize severity, and propose patches. Instead of using traditional analysis techniques like fuzzing of software composition analysis, Aardvark uses LLM-powered reasoning and tool-use. Cursor 2.0 enables eight agents to work in pa...
