Problem statement:

The Claude Agent component for currently installed by Xcode 26.6 or 27.0 Beta 3 is 2.1.175 which doesn't appear to support the Claude Apps Gateway (see code.claude.com/docs/en/claude-apps-gateway)

Versions from 2.1.198 are required.

Net effect is that when your organisation switches to the app gateway Xcode's Claude integration no longer works due to the lack of support in the installed component.

Questions:

Given the component is a signed binary is there any other way to use the locally installed Claude cli (current version 2.1.202)?
When is an update expected?
Is there any consideration for the rapid evolution of these agents to prevent blocking issues like this?

Hello!

As a rule, Apple does not comment on future software releases or their timelines. However, we are always evaluating future agent updates.

We take updates to our partner coding agents very seriously and try to put them out as fast as we can, but ensuring that they are fully compatible with Xcode is our first priority.

Since adding agents in March, we've been increasing the cadence at which we update the agent components from our partners as their products mature and develop stable addressable API boundaries. We plan to continue supporting our partners this way, but this means we haven't been able to validate a new agent binary over the four-ish business days since 2.1.198.
