We’re excited to introduce updates to GitHub Copilot for Xcode, bringing new ways to interact with AI and streamline your development workflow. With Copilot Vision, you can upload and chat with images—like screenshots and UI designs—directly in Xcode. We’ve also introduced global and workspace-level Custom Instructions, locale-aware responses, and a new auto-attach chat window to make interactions smoother and more personalized.

What’s New

Copilot Vision Support

You can now upload images—such as screenshots, diagrams, or UI mockups—directly into Copilot Chat. Whether it’s a screenshot of an error, a diagram, or a UI mockup, Copilot Vision helps you understand and reason about visual content right inside Xcode. To help you get started, here is a quick demo—building a classic Snake game in Swift, right inside Xcode.

Custom Instructions

Customize how Copilot responds to you! You can now configure custom instructions at both the global level and per workspace. Tailor Copilot’s behavior and tone to better suit your coding style and project needs. 

Locale-Aware Responses

Copilot Chat now supports locale-aware replies. Set your preferred language in the GitHub Copilot for Xcode settings, and Copilot will respond in the language that best fits your development context—making collaboration across global teams even smoother.

Improved Chat Window Experience

The Copilot Chat window now auto-attaches to your Xcode workspace and can be toggled in settings, providing a more integrated and efficient workflow.
