XCode 4 (Assembla) SVN Repository "Unable to load revisions"

svn xcode4 assembla

I've been trying unsuccessfully to connect to an https assembla svn repository with the new xcode 4 IDE for an iPhone project I'm working on.

I was able to connect just fine with the last version of xcode (3?), and with other svn apps. I'm using the same repo address and credentials, so I'm baffled as to why this doesn't work.

I also tried loading in a working copy of the repo, and it cannot connect either.

The one error message that comes up is "Unable to load revisions"

Any tips?

There are a lot of links, but no solution posted directly here, so I'll do it.

The reason Xcode4 does this is that it tries to log you into the SVN server with your mac credentials. When that fails, it basically just hangs and fails. The best solution I've seen so far is this:

open a terminal

If you don't have the project out do this:

>svn checkout SERVER_PATH FOLDER_PATH_TO_PUT_THE_PROJECT

It will then ask you for password for the mac username, you just write anything or nothing and press enter.

it will then fail and ask you for a username. Enter the correct one and then the password when it asks.

The project will be checked out, but you can just close the terminal window and delete the folder again if you want. Xcode4 will now connect without a hitch. :)
