If you want GPS the best bet is probably to use the GPS from GNAT CE
2019 with the new compiler. Have CE 2020 bin first on your PATH, then
explicitly call up gps: I just used /opt/gnat-ce-2019/bin/gps.

There is a port of GNAT Studio to Catalina[1], but ISTR it's not all
working 100%?

Last time I heard, Xcode is proprietary and closed, and no one has ever
reported extending it for Ada. But of course I haven't been looking.

Emacs[2], with ada-mode[3]].
