Troubleshooting for Copilot for Xcode

If you are having trouble with Copilot for Xcode follow these steps to resolve common issues:

  1. Check for updates and restart Xcode. Ensure that XcodePaI has the latest release by clicking Check for Updates in the settings or under the status menu. After updating, restart Xcode.

  2. Ensure that all required permissions are granted. XcodePaI app requires these permission to function properly:

    Please note that XcodePaI may not work properly if any necessary permissions are missing.

  3. Need more help? If these steps don't resolve the issue, please open an issue.

Accessibility Permission

XcodePaI requires the accessibility permission to receive real-time updates from the active Xcode editor. The XcodeKit API enabled by the Xcode Source Editor extension permission only provides information when manually triggered by the user. In order to generate suggestions as you type, the accessibility permission is used to read the Xcode editor content in real-time.

The accessibility permission is also used to accept suggestions when tab is pressed.

The accessibility permission is not used to read or write to any applications besides Xcode. There are no granular options for the permission, but you can audit the usage in this repository: search for CGEvent and AX*.

Enable in System Settings under Privacy & Security > Accessibility > XcodePaI and turn on the toggle.
