You can now work with GitHub Copilot directly in Xcode’s built-in coding assistant, bringing Copilot into your native Xcode workflow. The integration is now in public preview, available starting with Xcode 27.3 beta.

This gives you another way to use Copilot in Xcode. The existing GitHub Copilot for Xcode extension remains a separate option, so you can choose the workflow that works best for you.
