CoPilot does not work in Xcode's AI tab

[benthomas-carsales]

It's nice that we can use CoPilot with Xcode through an extension, but it would be vastly better if it integrated properly through the Xcode Apple Intelligence tab instead of having to run CoPilot as a separate app and extension.

Is this ever likely to be possible?

Since the Xcode 26.3 Release Candidates now offer integration for competing products, this seems like it may be more possible than ever.

I too would love this integration.

you can check my open source project https://github.com/mobile-ar/xcode-assistant-copilot-server it does exactly that, it's a quite simple local proxy fully built using Swift. To connect your Copilot account natively to Xcode assistant tab. I hope it's useful for you. Can be installed through "brew" or clone and build using "swift build -c release"

You could actually get it to work, just the unofficial way. I have been using https://github.com/ericc-ch/copilot-api. You need to run a Docker container that makes GitHub Copilot OpenAI or Anthropic compatible. So far it works without any problems.
