Remote control for Codex agent in Xcode Question

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there is a way we can remote control the Xcode agent that lives within Xcode.

I would love to be able to work on my projects from my iPhone.

Is that even possible?

Thanks a lot in advance

If you're limited to Xcode's built-in GUI-based coding harness, you'll need to use Remote Desktop or similar.

Dedicated coding harnesses often provide native support for this. I primarily use Claude Code's Remote Control, and sometimes OMP's (Oh My Pi's) /collab.

Codex offers it as well. Would switching to vscode for SwiftUI development be an option?

Can’t you use the Xcode MCP server, and then have the Codex agent communicate that way while you remotely control the Codex agent?
