In this article, we’ll explore the standout features of the add-on and guide you through its installation process.
Before dive into, you should check licence and make sure you have access to GitHub Copilot. For information
To use GitHub Copilot in Xcode, you need Xcode version 8.0 or higher and macOS Monterey (12.0) or later. Download and install the latest version of the GitHub Copilot extension for Xcode . Once Xcode launches, a background service will be added to ensure the application starts automatically.
Granting Permission
Two permissions are required to be able to use the extension: “Accessibility” and “Xcode Source Editor Extension”. You will be prompted to enable the “Accessibility” permission when you first start the extension.
The “Xcode Source Editor Extension” permission needs to be enabled manually.
- Open the GitHub Copilot extension application.
- Click Extension Permission and click Xcode Source Editor.
- Enable GitHub Copilot and click Done.
After granting the required permissions, restart Xcode. You will see a new item in the “Editor” menu called “GitHub Copilot”.
Signing in to Github Co-pilot
Before you can use the GitHub Copilot extension for Xcode, you need to authorize the extension to access your GitHub account.
- Open the GitHub Copilot extension application.
- Click Login to GitHub and follow the prompts to authorize the extension.
Log in with your GitHub account to activate the extension. Since the activation steps are already explained elsewhere, I won’t repeat them here. First-time users can refer to this link for detailed instructions.
