In Xcode 5 getting error when i add the server under the source control

Question

When I create new project in Xcode 5, Am trying to add new server for source control. But am getting error alert like this "The Xcode service is disabled on this server. Please contact your administrator for help".

Answer 1

Please check out how to turn on the OSX Server Xcode service at the following link:

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/xcode_guide-continuous_integration/200-Adopting_a_Continuous_Integration_Workflow/adopt_continuous_integration.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40013292-CH3-SW1.

If review of this guide does not fix your issue please let me know more specifics about your environment. If it does help please consider accepting the answer so others will locate the resource.

Important Conceptual Notes:

When you setup a new project and you are offered a server this refers to an OSX Server only (not github or any non-OSX external server):

So basically just make sure the OSX Xcode service is ON or restart your 10.9+ OSX server if possible...

NB: If what you want to do is to push your repository to github.com or code.google.com please see the following links for instructions on getting this to run in Terminal. Once the link between the remote repository and your local directory then Xcode will be able to push updates to your remote repositories (this will be available as a checkbox when you commit your project).

Answer 2

It sounds like you want to add a repository, not an XCode Continuous Integration server. Adding a server is adding an XCode Continuous Integration server. Use add repository instead. See the guide in the first link.

Answer 3

It seems like a "Server" in apple's definition is not a BitBucket server or GitHub server, it has to be a server that you host by yourself. Otherwise you are looking at adding a "repository".

I got enlightened by the screenshot below, note the server address:
