In the wake of Microsoft’s release of its GitHub Copilot tool, Apple could soon follow suit with a new version of Xcode that includes generative AI (genAI) capabilities designed to help developers write code.
The feature is expected to be capable of generating code in response to natural language commands. This should be really helpful for Apple developers, particularly as Apple’s Xcode Pro should also be able to verify code, check for flaws, and more.
Developers, developers, state-sponsored hackers
It’s possible even the most security-conscious developers will be able to use the tool, as it seems likely Apple will develop it to be as private as possible; that means your code and your requests don’t end up stored on cloud servers somewhere.
