Once any of these errors occur, Copilot enters a non-functional state: it can no longer send new prompts or receive responses.\n\nAt this point, the only temporary recovery methods are:\n\t•\tsigning out and back into GitHub Copilot, or\n\t•\trestarting macOS entirely.\n\nHowever, the issue consistently reoccurs within a short time window, often within the same day.\n\nAdditionally, after attempting recovery, Copilot sometimes fails to reinitialize its UI state correctly. For example:\n\t•\tthe model selection UI is missing, leaving no way to select or confirm a model\n\t•\tsending prompts does not trigger any loading or response state at all\n\nThis suggests a form of session or service state corruption that Copilot is unable to detect or recover from automatically.\n\n\n**Versions**\n- Copilot for Xcode: 0.46.157 with Language Server 1.403.0\n- Xcode: 16.2\n- macOS: 15.6.1\n\n**Steps to reproduce**\n\t1.\tUse Copilot for Xcode under normal development workflows.\n\t2.\tThe issue occurs intermittently but with high frequency over time.\n\t3.\tRestarting macOS temporarily restores functionality.\n\t4.\tThe issue reappears after continued usage.\n\n**Screenshots**\n\n\u003cimg width=\"482\" height=\"187\" alt=\"Image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e019b038-eb9a-485d-a411-63ac75ed0afe\" /\u003e\n\n\u003cimg width=\"493\" height=\"108\" alt=\"Image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ebe4fc6b-48e4-4bee-9d66-c129fa25d495\" /\u003e\n\n\u003cimg width=\"477\" height=\"125\" alt=\"Image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e205240a-ec63-4f68-9433-5c2be3616585\" /\u003e\n\n\u003cimg width=\"440\" height=\"151\" alt=\"Image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/913a690c-1807-4dda-b192-91fbdca09ab4\" /\u003e\n\n\u003cimg width=\"480\" height=\"88\" alt=\"Image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ebc11914-f8e4-47d3-bfb3-613045e94de4\" /\u003e\n\n**Logs**\nNo relevant Copilot logs could be found in local log folders (No folder for GitHub Copilot).\n\n**Additional context**\n\t•\tI frequently use a VPN; however:\n\t•\tGitHub.com works reliably.\n\t•\tGitHub Copilot works reliably in VS Code under the same network conditions.\n\t•\tThe issue appears to be specific to Copilot for Xcode rather than general connectivity.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/HushRadium","@type":"Person","name":"HushRadium"},"datePublished":"2025-12-29T05:29:07.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/688/CopilotForXcode/issues/688"}
