macOS Where is Swift Assist?

[Astuces iOS]

Swift Assist has been announced at WWDC. It’s an AI tool that helps you with your Swift Code. https://www.apple.com/ca/newsroom/2...uels-innovation-with-new-tools-and-resources/

Swift assist is coming this year according to apple : https://devimages-cdn.apple.com/wwd...-E039F7FE142B/WWDC24-Developer-Tools.pdf?dl=1

Otherwise swift assist isn’t in Xcode 16.1 or 16.2 beta so did apple forgot about this?

This has been working since Xcode 16 betas and is definitely in the released versions of Xcode 16. I don't particularly find AI code gen *that* useful but I have "used" it at work for a while now. I only say "used" because the vast majority of time I don't feel like I get any benefit from it, but I have taken its completions a handful of times.

It requires Apple Silicon and 16+GB of RAM

It's been working fine for me and I haven't even gone out of my way to set it up. It was a little distracting at first, but I've found it pretty helpful after a while.

Running the latest stable version of Xcode and macOS (no betas) on an M1 MacBook Pro.

Predictive code completion has been released but it doesn't seams Swift Assist is release. Do you have an AI assistant in Xcode?

Sorry; I thought that was the same thing. Haven't looked for the other thing, just code prediction. As mentioned I don't care much for AI stuff so never caught the distinction. Excuse the misunderstanding

Yeah it seams Swift assist it's much better.

Xcode 16.1 from Mac App Store

Now, this MacBook I am on does not have Apple Intelligence enabled - My home machine does, not my work machine here, so no clue if it works yet, there's nothing I can interact with in there yet, but it appears to live

Where it appears for you?

Ok I see and doesn't work and I think has been delete in Xcode 16.2 bêta I don't see it.

 

[casperes1996]

Yeah doesn’t seem to do anything. Tried it on 15.2 and nothing. It’s in the editor menu but doesn’t do anything

Oh it‘s not the real one

It’s not the official, yes. However, it is intriguing, appears useful, a smashup of Code Completion and what Swift Assist could be — which is why I was curious if anyone tried it.

Anyway… I’ve been patiently awaiting for the .2 versions (e.g., macOS 15.2, iOS 18.2, Xcode 16.2) before updating, and will probably just continue to wait.

Yeah… anyways I want official!
