Apple announced the addition of AI features to Xcode during the WWDC 2024 event. Xcode 16 introduces a new chapter for development by integrating generative models into the tools. This includes a major enhancement in code completion with a new engine that predicts the code you need, using project symbols to customize suggestions. This engine runs locally on your Mac, ensuring privacy and fast results, even offline.

Additionally, Apple introduced Swiftassist, a cloud-based companion for coding tasks. Swiftassist can answer coding questions, help with experimenting with new APIs, and transform ideas into code using natural language. These features are designed to enhance productivity and improve the quality of apps developed on Apple platforms.
