This project explores Xcode 26.3’s Coding Agentic feature. Introduced in Xcode 26.3, agentic coding revolutionises app development for developers. Powered by Anthropic and OpenAI’s coding agents, Xcode autonomously tackles tasks, breaks them down and makes decisions based on project architecture. It also utilises built-in tools to streamline the development process.
I began the project with a fresh SwiftUI vanilla app and issued the two prompts below.
"I'd like to build a simple iOS app to maintain student records. App should use SwiftData to maintain the list of students. Each student, app should be able to store first name, last name, gender, and address. On the first page, I'd like to see a list of students sorted by their last name."
"Restructure my app, put all the views in Views folder. Apply MVVM so view access data via a view-model."
You can find my journey through the experience in the YouTube video above.
Enjoy,
