A word of warning, if you wanna check out Xcode 27 beta, it's gonna force you to also upgrade to macOS Golden Gate beta. And the problem with this is that Xcode 26, the current stable version of Xcode, is not compatible with the Golden Gate beta. So in order to move backwards, it looks like you're going to have to do a clean install. That means erasing everything and reinstalling Tahoe. The reason why you might want Xcode 26 still is because it's the only way to submit apps into the App Store. You cannot use Xcode 27 beta to submit apps until it is officially released in September. So if you only have one computer, do not install the betas on there unless you wanna be stuck and unable to submit apps

Watch this whole workflow in action, start to finish, in Xcode 27: youtu.be/wKyyYv6ZWw8

The biggest mistake I see: skipping straight to "build my whole app" with no plan. AI is great at execution. It's bad at reading your mind. Plan → Design → Build → Test. One step at a time.

I've been testing Xcode 27's AI coding agent. Here's the 4-step workflow I use before writing any code with AI. Works with Claude Code, Codex, whatever agent you're using. 🧵

Apple just quietly fixed one of iOS development's most annoying headaches: every AI app call used to cost money, and juggling multiple providers (Claude, Gemini, the iPhone's own free built-in model) meant writing separate code for each one, until now. Apple's new LanguageModel protocol swaps all that mess for a single standard layer, so switching providers takes about one line of code. That means apps ship faster, don't break if one provider goes down, and you're never held hostage by one company's pricing. I broke it all down with real code in my latest video: youtu.be/HCUuOhUxqLA

Apple just introduced something called the LanguageModel protocol. It lets developers switch between the on-device model, Claude, Gemini, and others by changing basically one line of code. No more separate integrations for every provider. Why does this matter even if you're not a developer? Apps get built faster, can switch providers if one goes down, and rely less on a single company's pricing. I broke down exactly how this works (with real code) in my latest video.

🚨 Another App Store rule change. Apple is now rejecting apps that ask for a rating on first launch or during onboarding. Looks like the era of collecting thousands of easy 5-star reviews before users even try the app is coming to an end. Apple is cleaning up the App Store.

@CasiKnibbs Finally getting around to trying it out this morning! Still need to figure out where it's saved on disk after creating a new project haha

@CodeWithChris Looking forward to testing it out!

omg Apple really changed things up with Xcode 27. I love it!

@runstop It looks like they brought it up to parity with other existing tools but i'm still exploring. It'd be nice to be able to just use Xcode if it's good enough!

@CodeWithChris I’m feeling so behind the WWDC curve this year (been so focused on codex and fable this week) The Xcode 27 demos felt like they were basically presenting Codex capabilities but maybe I missed the nuance of agentic coding in Xcode?

Agentic coding showed up in Xcode 26.3 but Xcode 27 is where it actually grew up. Do you think it can compete with Cursor and become the app that people do their AI coding in?

One of the first things I did inside Xcode 27 is make the text LARGER lol

Apple quietly updated App Review Guidelines, including its definition of spam apps. Under them, Apple can remove some 'spam' apps already on the store. Better check if your category is affected 👇
