@peterfriese I’d like to use Xcode 26.3+ with Gemini (since that's the only AI/LLM/Agent system I’m approved to use), but it seems like that’s more easily said than done right now.

Do you think we'll have some streamlining on either side (Google or Apple) to make that an easier process?

Or do you have any hints/tips to make it work a little more easily?

(I don't even need agentic functionality, though it would be nice.)

@evankstone

Have you tried Gemini CLI? Using Apple's built in Xcode intelligence-panel UI for connecting with Gemini isn't currently working. I had it working in the past, but I think Google changed something on their side that broke with the standards.

But I installed G-CLI and it works pretty well if I point it to a project that I've created in Xcode.

@bennomatic @peterfriese yeah that's the other option some of us have been working with, even using it with Zen. I'll check it out again and see if that will work. Thanks!
