xby-search-apple-docs

When you use AI to write iOS or macOS code, the real pain is rarely syntax. It is the scattered Apple ecosystem: API references on developer.apple.com, platform compatibility tables on another page, deprecation notes buried in release logs, and hands-on details locked inside WWDC videos. xby-search-apple-docs closes that loop. Inside a DeepSeek Harness conversation, your assistant can search Apple Developer Documentation, browse framework symbols, check cross-platform availability and minimum deployment targets, find modern replacements for deprecated APIs, and pull full WWDC transcripts with code examples—all without switching tabs or running manual searches.

This goes well beyond returning a code snippet. You get full documentation page content, inheritance and protocol relationships between APIs, complete symbol indexes within a framework, and the source structure of Apple official sample projects. Whether you are migrating from UIKit to SwiftUI or verifying that an API exists on visionOS, those contextual details are what determine whether your code compiles and on which OS version it runs.

The plugin is for any developer writing Apple platform code inside an AI conversation: newcomers who want to understand a framework holistically, senior engineers untangling cross-platform compatibility issues, or anyone tracking the latest WWDC announcements to adopt new APIs quickly. It plugs Apple's official knowledge base directly into your chat flow, removing the repetitive copy-paste-and-search cycle from your daily workflow.
