ON TOUR
Sam Jarman
AI Native Development with Xcode
AI Native developers do not simply use AI tools. They learn to brief, direct, review, and improve AI agents with the judgment of a good technical leader. Using Xcode 27’s latest agentic features, this talk explores the shift from writing every line yourself to managing the development loop. We’ll look at how to onboard AI into a codebase, give clearer briefs, split work into useful chunks, delegate safely, and review the result with confidence. You’ll leave with practical habits for working more AI-natively in Xcode, while keeping the craft, accountability, and satisfaction that make software development worth doing.
