News Xcode 26.3 finally out

Did they manage to fix MCP server popups I wonder =)

edit: looks like yes and no, I'm no longer getting multiple popups from the same instance of VSCode, but opening a new window still makes a new popup. Well at least somewhat usable I guess

for you all who have tried this version for actual coding, is this agents inside Xcode better than the VScode Codex & Claude plugin?

I've been using it since the RC release, it's actually amazing imo. Haven't touched claude code & codex clis since.

I've been using Claude in vscode. Do you think I can reliably use Xcode codex agent instead?

I would just use Claude with Axiom and call it a day.

the reverse for me. i have not touched xcode (as an ide/editor) ever since i was taught proper agentic coding workflow.

mostly now i do prompts on codex cli and it does what i wanted. opening an ide or editor is like the old way of doing things lol (for me at least).
