I've the same problem woth Arduino Uno on Xcode
Please find what I've found so far:
On his blog, Robert Carlsen was pretty close to a solution. But as the last two comments suggest, the Arduino Uno differs from the Duemilanove.

I’m trying to get this working on a Uno, which I believe
has different USB/serial hardware than previous Arduino models?
Anyhow, I’ve changed the makefile to say: PORT = /dev/tty.usbmodem*
… but I’m getting a whole series of error messages: avrdude:
stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout And it doesn’t look like the
sketch is uploading to the board (rx/tx LEDs aren’t flashing.)
Anybody got any hints?

Also I am trying to work with Xcode ArduinoUno but gives me
this error —- “rm -f main.hex main.eep main.cof main.elf
main.map main.sym main.lss core.a \ make: *** No rule to make target /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/cores/arduino//pins_arduino.o’, needed by core.a’. Stop. — someone managed to make it work?
Also, Mattias Gunneras posted on Twitter but didn't explain how

Finally got Xcode working with the Arduino UNO. I'm looking forward to a productivity gain of about 318%.

on Makefile, set values for the MCU, upload speed and the protocol according to file located at Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/arduino/boards.txt
on Makefile, add $(ARDUINO)/WString.cpp to line 73 before $(ARDUINO)/Print.cpp
on Makefile, change line 67 from PORT = /dev/tty.usbserial* to PORT = /dev/tty.usbmodem*
It works fine on my Arduino Uno with Arduino 0022 IDE and Xcode 3.2.5 on Mac OS X 10.6.6 for small projects, as LED blinking and "Hello World".
However, I can't manage to use libraries :~ previously developed with Arduino 0022 IDE.
Probable cause might be a mismatch between C and C++ but I don't know how to fix it.
I'm sure it's something trivial :~ but I can't find it.

Good news, using the Makefile supplied by avenue33 I've successfully uploaded the Blink script to my Uno!
Xcode4 still won't acknowledge the existence of the template, but I guess that's just an afternoon of manual-digging. I'll post here when I have anything more to report.
I have been struggling to get Arduino to work with XCode for the longest time.
Finally, it is working. even with libraries ( but for some reason not the SD library... I'm not really sure why. )
I have been recycling makefiles that other people posted on the web, but none that I found could make libraries link correctly or even include extra .cpp files in my project's src folder.
So I have been adjusting and changing makefiles so many times I have no clue where my original source came from :-s
Here is the makefile that I'm using now for working with a Makerbot Sanguino based board:

I'm using this with XCode 3.2, I have attached a zip file of a working sample project.
hope this helps someone, I for one got a little bit balder trying to get this to work
I don't know if this is the right place for this, but I've updated my XCode projects on Github. It has now been updated to work with the UNO. I did a quick test and it seems to work fine.
Still only XCode 3.2 because I'm not running Lion yet..
Shouldn't we create a specific thread for Arduino + XCode (both XCode3.2 and XCode4) so that everybody who know how to write proper C++ can benefit from our efforts? It seems that all the information is now spread over multiple blogs, github repositories etc..
I'll find here an extensive list of Arduino-related makefiles.
What we need:
• Actions: Build and Upload
• Boards choice: Arduino UNO, ... , chipKIT UNO32
• #include libraries compiled and linked
• Xcode template
I could easily close my repository and point to yours.
Is there an Xcode specialist around? Please!
Best regards,
That list of makefiles is very interesting for learning, thanks!
I don't want to come in and take over the show, so I don't think you should close your repository, but a central place for working on this would be great. Like maybe a XCode + Arduino thread on this forum where we discuss the progress and one github repository where multiple people can work on this project.
I'm very new to git and github, so I don't really know how to do this. Do you?
I'm just starting to learn about makefiles so we could use someone that really is fluent with these thing. It would be great that people who download the templates don't have to go into the makefile and change a bunch of parameters just to add a library.
Right now I'm trying to have the choice of Board in the build settings of the project instead of in the makefile. I'm fairly close, but I can't find how to make a drowdown list in the build settings like the ones you have in a Cocoa project when selecting the "Base SDK"...
Avenue33, did you try my project template with XCode 4? I think you can just open it as a normal project with XCode4.
I don't have a computer that runs Lion yet, so I can't test this.
What we "need" is a command-line mode of the Arduino app that does the Arduino-style preprocessing on a set of .pde (or .ino) files.
Having to figure out exactly what it does (slightly differently) with each Arduino release is a pain, and makes implementing Arduino program builds in other IDEs an exercise in chasing not-fully-documented behaviors.
The Arduino IDE or the chipKIT MPIDE are great tools. However, they are closed.
They're not "closed." They are just rather tightly controlled. You can download the sources and make the patches to do what I described, but the chance that the patches will be accepted for inclusion in future releases is quite small.

What do you mean with "preprocessing" exactly? In the XCode version, we are just using the Arduino C and Cpp libraries and avr-gcc to compile for the arduino, but no special preprocessing.
Or do you mean the converting from .pde files into .h and .cpp files that probably happens behind the screens in the Arduino IDE?
do you mean the converting from .pde files into .h and .cpp files
Yep; that. Concatenate the .pde files, generate function prototypes, add the default .h files, and detect the used libraries. More or less. Subject to change.

hmmm I'm not sure about that... I have absolutely no problem with writing good code when I get all the advantages in XCode.
Also, the code completion probably wouldn't work if you start working with .pde files without proper header files, right?
I think it would make more sense to have two types of working: the easy to learn and quick-sketch Arduino IDE way and a way for more experienced programmers to work with their preferred IDE and a good makefile.
