Xcode 26 RC beta now available for developers

Following today’s event, Apple is now rolling out the first Release Candidate version of the operating systems announced during WWDC25, as well as for Xcode 26. Here are the details.

Apple Intelligence, Anthropic and OpenAI integration

This year, Xcode’s highlight feature is its built-in integration with large language models, including native support for OpenAI and Anthropic. Users can also integrate with local LLMs and third-party services via API keys.

Anthropic’s support was added late in the beta cycle. The intelligence feature, originally announced with ChatGPT and Apple’s own models, is a second crack at the Swift Assist concept, which was announced during WWDC24 but never actually launched.

It is also worth mentioning that Xcode 26 now offers two separate builds: one for Apple silicon Macs, and a Universal one for all Macs, regardless of the processor.
