What’s new in Xcode 27

A Podkey summary of What’s new in Xcode 27, from WWDC 2026.Xcode 27 feels like Apple looked at all the little frictions developers put up with every day and started sanding them down. The big themes are customization, faster prototyping, much deeper agent help inside the editor, and a smoother path from writing code to testing, tuning, and shipping it. There are also some genuinely practical upgrades for device management, localization, performance debugging, and Xcode Cloud that make the whole toolchain feel more connected.A toolbar you can actually make your ownLower-friction prototypingCoding agents move into the editorOne place for simulators and real devicesLocalization with agent helpBetter visibility into app healthInstruments gets faster at finding the hot spotsXcode Cloud gets out of the wayThis podcast was created with Podkey.
