Ask HN: How is Claude agent experience in Xcode 26.3?
1 day ago
I've been vibe coding an iPhone app for educational purposes. The process has been painful because I have to go back and forth between Xcode and Claude Code running in the terminal. I recently learned that Xcode 26.3 natively supports Claude Code and Codex. Has anyone tried it? If yes, please share your experience. I am asking because this means moving to macOS Tahoe which I want to avoid as much as possible.
I tried the built-in integration briefly. The biggest improvement is not having to constantly switch between the editor and terminal — that alone makes the workflow smoother. It’s still early though, so I wouldn’t upgrade macOS just for that unless you’re already planning to.
Thanks for sharing that. I also checked YT for reviews and found one video that went over the set up step-by-step. I thought it looked pretty good. But I couldn't figure out whether CC has access to the emulator.
