The GitHub Copilot for Xcode extension now allows you to ask questions about your entire codebase using the @workspace context. Additionally, we have added support for new models, including Claude 3.7 Sonnet and GPT 4.5, to enhance your chat conversations and introduce some 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. 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.
  • New model options: Claude 3.7 Sonnet and GPT 4.5 are now available in the model selector of Copilot Chat. Learn more about the models available 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, making it easier and faster to access. This helps streamline the development process and reduce time spent navigating various menus.
  • Bug fixes: Notifications for enabling background functionality to address crashes or non-responsive states.
