Copilot for Xcode?

[Ben216k]

Would it be possible to bring GitHub Copilot to Xcode? My concern would be whether or not you can do that with an Xcode extension since Apple is known for limiting this.

Currently, Copilot Only Works For VS Code.
But, I'm Sure They Will Add Support For Other Text/Code Editors Also...

Copilot can worked perfectly on Android Studio because it's has a IntelliJ base code source.

And it's already worked on Swift language (on different text / code editors) like this demo : https://twitter.com/_inside/status/1410338216729878530

XCode is a tricky different, so i think we just wait for this. We don't have access to code source of Github Copilot as well for creating a bridge on it.

You may try JetBrains AppCode with the Copilot plugin.

did anyone try?

[mrjavicho]

I have just tried it out and it's working nicely in AppCode.
I have an on/off relationship with this IDE though, it will be nice to be able to use copilot in XCode.

Works like charm.

It is sad. With the release of v2022.3, jetbrains are sunsetting the product. https://blog.jetbrains.com/appcode/2022/12/appcode-2022-3-release-and-end-of-sales-and-support/

We ended up making one for our own use. CoderKit it is free to use and also support Codeium. happy to share with other developers.

AppCode was sunsetted: https://blog.jetbrains.com/appcode/2022/12/appcode-2022-3-release-and-end-of-sales-and-support/

AppCode is not supported anymore.

An Xcode Editor Plugin should be workable.

C'mon, XCode doesn't even have properly VIM support... but sometimes it helps, yes - to manage assets 😆... Ok, respect XCode - you started with it...

[siginur]

Somebody tried to use it? How is it?

[JPwharton]

I've been using CodeAI and it works pretty well. Haven't tested the brew package one yet.

👀 GitHub Copilot code completion in Xcode is now available in public preview 🚀

[datonefeed]

It's possible that future updates to Xcode, GitHub Copilot, or third-party tools could bridge this gap, but for now, Xcode doesn't directly support GitHub Copilot.
