The GitHub Copilot for Xcode extension now allows you to ask questions about your entire codebase using the @workspace context. Additionally, we have integrated support for new models, including OpenAI GPT-4.1, GPT-4.5, o3, o4-mini, Gemini 2.5 Pro and Claude 3.7 Sonnet, to enhance your chat conversations and introduce several UX improvements to boost your productivity.

What’s New

@workspace context: By referencing @workspace in Copilot Chat, you can ask questions about your entire codebase in Xcode. GitHub Copilot will analyze your project’s codebase and provide detailed answers, including references to relevant files and symbols. The @workspace context helps you find the code you’re looking for, understand how functionality is implemented, and much more. Here is a short demo of it.

New model support: New models including OpenAI GPT-4.1, GPT-4.5, o3, o4-mini, Gemini 2.5 Pro and Claude 3.7 Sonnet are now available in the model selector of Copilot Chat. These models bring enhanced capabilities and improved performance to your coding experience. Learn more about the models available in Copilot in our documentation.

UX improvements & bug fixes

This update also includes a few other UX improvements and bug fixes:

• Simplified Workflow: Open Copilot Chat with a single click from our Copilot for Xcode app.
• Bug Fixes: Notifications for enabling background functionality to address crashes or non-responsive states.
