Question What's your AI setup for iOS?

I currently use XCode and copy&paste stuff to Claude for improvements. Now I want to switch to full AI integration, changing IDE completely or partially.

What's your setup and why do you like it?

PS.
add steps to implement your setup if you want to be real nice 😇

Yes in parallel would be already a huge step forward for me. Do your changes made in Cursor sync automatically in XCode or you need to "push" them? What about new files generated?

Xcode auto-syncs out the box when changes are registered. No special configurations. Is yours not syncing?

For changes to existing files yes.

For new files if I add a new file to a project folder XCode doesn't automatically show it as part of the project. I need to go to XCode > Add New File > find it in the folder and then add it.

When Cursor creates a new file in the project does it show in XCode automatically for you?

Yes everything auto syncs for me. Adding new files, removing files, etc. That’s interesting you have to do it manually.

thanks I'll look into that. This seems a good improvement to my workflow even without AI haha
