Thanks for being a part of WWDC25!

How did we do? We’d love to know your thoughts on this year’s conference. Take the survey here

Intelligence Features not available in Xcode 26 beta 1

At the Platform State of the Union, Apple demoed clicking a ✨ button in the Xcode toolbar to use Apple Intelligence in Xcode.

I don't see that button in Xcode Version 26.0 beta (17A5241e). Am I missing it? It's supposed to be in the upper-left corner, right?

Do I need to turn it on or something? I'm on macOS 15.5 Sequoia, on a 16-inch, 2021 MacBook Pro

Confirmed, I installed Xcode 26 beta 1 on Sequoia and none of the intelligence features were available. As soon as I updated my system to macOS 26 they lit up.

Same here.

No "Intelligence" section in Xcode Settings view as describen in Xcode web page

The documentation says I should be able to turn it on in Xcode Settings, in the "Intelligence" section… but I don't see an Intelligence section.

Xcode 26 on macOS Sequoia isn't showing it on my side either. Asking myself if it requires either macOS Tahoe and/or if it is region locked to US for this first beta...

I have created a macOS 26 VM with Virtual Buddy. The "Intelligence" tab is displayed in Xcode.

However, I cannot activate Apple Intelligence in the virtual machine. Apparently you need a native macOS 26 installation to get it running.

I think that we need to upgrade to macOS Tahoe
