I've been pleasantly surprised by the Claude integration with Xcode. Overall, it's a huge downgrade from Claude Code's UX (no way to manually enter plan mode, odd limitations, poor Xcode-specific tool use adherence, frustrating permission model), but in one key way it is absolutely clutch for SwiftUI development: it can render and view SwiftUI previews. Because SwiftUI is component based, it can home in on rendering errors, view them in isolation, and fix them, creating new test cases (#Preview) as needed.
This closes the feedback loop on the visual side. There's still a lot of work to be done on the behavioral side (e.g. it can't easily diagnose gesture conflicts on its own).
