2. Open the dmg and drag the GitHub Copilot for Xcode.app into the Applications folder.

   

3. On the first opening the application it will warn that it was downloaded from the internet. Click Open to proceed.

   

4. A background item will be added for the application to be able to start itself when Xcode starts.

   

5. Two important permissions are required for the application to operate well: Accessibility and Xcode Source Editor Extension. The first time the application is run these permissions should be requested. You may need to click Refresh in the settings if not prompted.

   

6. After granting the extension permission, please restart Xcode so the Github Copilot menu is available under the Xcode Editor menu.
   

   

7. To sign into GitHub Copilot, click the Sign in button in the settings application. This will open a browser window and copy a code to the clipboard. Paste the code into the GitHub login page and authorize the application.

   

8. To install updates, click Check for Updates from the menu item or in the settings application. After installing a new version, Xcode must be restarted to use the new version correctly. New versions can also be installed from dmg files downloaded from the releases page. When installing a new version via dmg, the application must be run manually the first time to accept the downloaded from the internet warning.
