r/Xcode

Anyone has solution for this please share, it is changing the Xcode project files automatically and stealing the data and also when i remove that it is coming again and again.

Apple has released Xcode 26.6, and the update lets developers use Google's Gemini as a built in coding assistant for the first time.

The new version is available now from the App Store. With it, programmers can select Gemini to help write, test, and debug code without leaving Apple's development environment.

# Three AI assistants to choose from

Gemini becomes the third large language model that Xcode supports natively. The software already let developers pick between Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's Codex, and Gemini now sits alongside both as a selectable option.

Each assistant runs in a panel next to the active code, so developers can ask programming questions and get suggestions inline. The goal is to keep coders inside Xcode rather than sending them to a browser or a separate app for answers.

Apple has steadily widened third party AI support across its developer tools over the past year. Adding another model continues that approach and leaves the choice of assistant up to the individual developer or team.

# Setting it up

Teams that already pay for a Gemini Enterprise plan can connect their existing account credentials directly inside Xcode. Individual developers who want to try the assistant first can add a free API key instead, which lets them test Gemini without paying for a subscription.

It is not yet clear whether Apple plans to add further models beyond the current three. The company has not commented on its longer term plans for assistant support in Xcode.

# What else is in the update

Beyond the new assistant, Xcode 26.6 carries the usual collection of bug fixes and stability improvements. Apple says the release bundles the latest version of the Swift framework along with updated SDKs for building apps across its mobile and desktop platforms.

Developers running the standard release can download the update today and configure their preferred coding assistant from within the app.

As the title says does IB still exist? Or is the interface now just built using SwiftUI (or possibly UIKit) and the code is parsed and the interface generated? I have used IB back to the NeXTstep 3.x days, WebObjects, and then on earlier versions of MacOSX. I’m not sure if I’m missing something or writing the code is just how it works now. If so, I miss the days of drag-and-drop to create the interface.

I'm trying to create a project in Xcode, never used Apple products until now. I'm pretty new to software development, and I've been looking at the apple docs and I still just can't figure it out lol. I'm trying to create an iOS app, with a watchOS app, as well as complications, and all that jazz. But anyways, I want a shared folder for the logic that both the iOS app and watchOS app, maybe the widgets and complication will use and I'm not sure how to do it. I think I understand the targets aspect of it, hopefully we will find out when I get farther in the project then just the SETUP!! I just want everything well organized. I've tried doing as a package, dependency, app group, and it will never build with import or anything like that. I've even read to use finder and make the base folders in there and then use Xcode to generate the boilerplate stuff. Of course the super smart Apple Intelligence is no help, which I rather not rely on since I am learning. Hopefully I explained myself well enough. Thanks for the help! First Post
