What is the best way to integrate TFS version control

Question

Working on implementing TFS throughout our organization. It is easy to integrate with .NET projects and any platform that uses Eclipse or a derivative of Eclipse f

Answer 1

Xcode integration is something that we at Teamprise have been looking into a lot. One of the main problems for us is that Apple does not provide a version control API that we can hook into to add a new version control system to Xcode - for integrated version control it is either the systems that Apple provide access to or nothing at the moment.

That said, we do have a number of customers who develop in Xcode for TFS. They either use Teamprise Explorer (which is a standalone GUI client to TFS compiled as a Universal Binary) or they have macros inside Xcode that perform basic check-out and get operations in-conjunction with the TFS command line (tf). It's obviously not the ideal experience but acceptable for them. The stand-alone GUI has the advantage that you can do all the work item tracking stuff there as well and integrate this with your check-ins.

Sorry if this is a very "marketing" type answer - just trying to let you know what our current customers do with Xcode. If you want more details around the macro approach then let me know.

Hope that helps,

Martin.
