Those from Cupertino are preparing a renewed version of Xcode that will include powerful AI-based functions
According to a recent report from Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, Apple is considering update Xcodeyour development platform, with AI to support agile coding and testing for developers. This is the strongest rumor about artificial intelligence in a dedicated application. Previous rumors indicate that Cupertino will welcome AI through iOS 18.
Xcode will be more user-friendly and with AI it will improve the tool to great levels
The tool where developers do their own work to build apps will be powered similarly to Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot platform. The latter is cloud-based and is also developed by GitHub for code completion.
Artificial intelligence will be used to predict and complete blocks of code according to Gurman. Another exploration encompasses the same AI for Code generation and application testing.
These functions in Xcode would be available at the end of the year for external developers. To meet the planned dates, engineers are forced to test all functions internally.
Saving time and money, main advantages
The processes they plan to implement through the new AI system for Xcode will significantly simplify the currently existing programming process. Developing software with AI is an important new development that will interest many developers in order to advance their projects.
Application testing is part of the complexity that exists for a developer, The tedious process would be eliminated with the presence of AI to generate the code required for testing applications..
According to Gurman himself, Craig FederighiSenior Vice President of Software Engineering, sent the message to its teams that it is important that they develop as many AI functions as possible for this year’s operating system updates. So, iOS 18 will not only represent a change in terms of AI. The new version of macOS would have artificial intelligence functions, the code name at the moment is Glow.
Exciting AI Features Coming
For users of Apple Music could automate the playlist creation process. Functions could also be presented that would allow presentations to be created in a few steps with Keynote. On another side, Spotlight would be one of the biggest beneficiaries by offering a renewed version.
Using search on Apple can be boring, but with AI it will surely become an interesting search engine to such a degree answer complex questions and dig deeper into applications with the aim of directly accessing a specific function within the application in question.
Everything indicates that it will be at WWDC 2024 that we will have the first official preview of the first novelties in AI in Apple systems.
