A (Re-)Introduction to ExtensionKit ExtensionKit was a pretty significant new feature, introduced three years ago with macOS Ventura. But, I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve never even heard of it, as it had a strangely quiet introductio...

ExtensionKit for iOS is here and I think it is a big deal.

Writing code with intelligence in Xcode | Apple Developer Documentation Generate code, fix bugs fast, and learn as you go with intelligence built directly into Xcode.

Apple recently put AI inside of XCode. They call it Code Intelligence and I've been working with @biscuit.dev to proxy it so we can inspect their prompts 🧡.
