Agentic coding issues

Hi guys,

Two annoying issues I'm having at the moment with agentic coding.

  1. Xcode signs out of Claude every single day and gives the error Failed to authenticate. API Error: 401. The only solution is go to settings and sign out of Claude and in again.

  2. Apple removed the little arrow to select the model, so now every time you start a new conversation you have to pick the model. I just want to start a new conversation with the model I'm using. The extra click is a time waster.

Any solutions would be appreciated. Thanks

There are a couple of other threads on the OAuth issue.

This morning I went into the Xcode components and uninstalled Claude Agent. Then I reinstalled it. SO FAR I haven't had a failed to authenticate, but it's too early to be sure.
