Xcode 26.4: Regressions in Intelligence features

Just installed the new Xcode 26.4 RC build (17E192) after happily using 26.3 for a few months. I'm noticing some immediate regressions in the Intelligence features:

  1. Frequent losing of OAuth token (Claude Agent). This had previously been fixed and now is back.
  2. Agent "Thinking" is constrained to thought bubble windows, which are (a) too small to read, (b) not scrollable when thinking goes beyond a few paragraphs. Yes they are tappable when thinking is finished, but this doesn't help.
  3. Due to (2), in deep thinking, it's impossible to follow progress beyond the visible window, so impossible to know if the agent is going off the rails.
  4. I'm noticing just more general slowness to complete tasks. Not just complete them -- it seems like it takes longer to START tasks, which is really weird. It sits there thinking for longer. Same project, same model as before.
  5. Every time you tap "New Chat" it presents both Claude and Codex choices, even if you're only signed into one. This turned a simple single tap into now a required two taps.

Overall this feels like a frustrating setback after a very positive user experience in 26.3.

Hello everyone,

I’m looking for some guidance and, if possible, assistance with an issue I’m experiencing.

I’ve been using Codex with Xcode since the beginning of my project, and I used to be able to use both the Codex agent and ChatGPT through my ChatGPT login. I have a paid Pro account.

However, two days ago, my Codex agent was signed out, and I lost access to Intelligence features and the ability to send prompts. I can no longer sign in to my Codex agent in Xcode—the only option available now seems to be using an API key. I tried that workaround for a day, but I quickly hit my API usage limit.

Has anyone else run into this issue? If so, how did you resolve it? I’ve already tried deleting Xcode and all related files and logs, then reinstalling, but that didn’t fix the problem.

Thank you.
