Xcode to get new AI-powered coding and testing tools
A new report suggests that Apple is nearing completion of a slate of new AI based tools to help developers code and test applications within Xcode.
According to a Bloomberg report, the new tools will “use artificial intelligence to predict and complete blocks of code,” which would streamline the coding process for developers. Apple is also allegedly exploring the use of AI to generate code for testing applications, a process can be particularly tedious.
Apple is currently pushing its engineers to try the features in-house before it releases them to the broader public. While there’s no concrete timeline for these tools to appear, sources familiar with the project indicate that it will likely be out sometime this year.
