Xcode's MCP is just impossible to use, since every command you run in the Codex app pops up a 'do you want to allow this connection' dialog in Xcode, and pauses the debugged app. I know Apple can't actually use the consumer version of any of this stuff internally, because of the security risks, and you can really feel that by how it behaves

@stroughtonsmith So impossible I just went from an idea to a pre-order with Claude Agent since 26.3 beta was released.

I respect everything about you EXCEPT how much you speak in absolutes. I am positive your work and observations have improved my, and countless others', experiences with Xcode and #apple frameworks; it could have more impact as fair critique, rather than glib platitudes. 🙏

@nicholasderk great for you; I find it impossible to use, and had to turn off Xcode's MCP server. Did you consider our experiences might be different?

@stroughtonsmith You didn’t, since you didn’t say it was impossible for you to use, but rather you as in everyone reading your post. That is a damaging statement to make as people trust your deep knowledge. The deep knowledge is to your credit, the absolutism that everyone else’s experiences are like yours is not.

@nicholasderk Apple calls it out in the latest release notes as a known issue. It pops up every time you command-tab between the Codex app and Xcode, and it blocks Xcode's debugger. It was released in a nonviable state. You came back to me with your experience with Claude Agent, which as far as I can tell has absolutely no relevance to me, my post, or Xcode's 'known issue'
