Survey of 100 veteran Apple developers: 95% use AI nearly every day

SwiftGG's team published an expert-panel survey on AI in the Apple developer ecosystem, gathering feedback from 100 senior Apple developers across 10+ countries — 81% with 4+ years of Apple platform experience and 95% using AI nearly daily.
The report covers how these developers use Xcode, apply AI in app development, and what they expect from next-generation dev tools and workflows. The sharer notes Apple's ecosystem is uniquely insulated, so its AI adoption patterns may differ from outside perceptions. Expert-panel data is out; broader community data is still being collected.
