Steps to Reproduce
I was able to fix this. When you go to Intelligence Tab in Xcode, make sure to just download claude agent. Then go here and do a Claude native install, https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview#native-install-recommended. Next, close Xcode.
It seems like Xcode is downloading the arm binary instead of the intel binary. I'm on a Mac running an intel processor.
I ran the following commands
# 1. Force quit Xcode to prevent file lock issues (overkill maybe, haha)
killall Xcode 2>/dev/null
# 2. Overwrite the broken binary with your working Intel (x86_64) version
cp ~/.local/bin/claude /Users/mr.robot/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/Agents/claude/2.1.118/claude
# 3. Strip the security quarantine block from the new binary
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Users/mr.robot/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/Agents/claude/2.1.118/
# 4. Verify it now says "Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64"
file /Users/mr.robot/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/Agents/claude/2.1.118/claude
This worked for me. I can see Claude agent working in Xcode.
