One way is using an svn client. The one which is obviously available is the command line svn client. So here's how I use it:

Our repository is: https://myserver.me.com/svn/ The repository is added to Xcode using Xcode->Preferences->Accounts.

Create a new project inside Xcode 5: $HOME/IOS/Projects/MyProject
Close the project or maybe even better close Xcode to avoid Xode interfering with svn. Really.
Open a terminal and change directory into the projects folder
```
cd $HOME/IOS/Projects
```

Import the project into svn:

svn import -m "New Import"  MyProject/ https://myserver.me.com/svn/trunk/MyProject

Checkout the project again to create a working copy

svn co https://myserver/svn/trunk/MyProject MyProject

Re-open the project in Xcode and enjoy svn. The project is now part of the repo.

This has worked for me, but i want a way to do it from Xcode 5. – TechFanatic Oct 24 '13 at 05:11
But what files to include in the first commit? Can I safely include all project files etc without risking getting problems when my colleague start to work on the project and commit from their machines? – Karl-Petter Åkesson Nov 04 '13 at 16:21
Just include all the files of the projects first commit. Handling commits from coworkers and handling conflicts is SVN's job. Just seek for any decent SVN manual to learn how this works. – Robert Nov 05 '13 at 19:35

This is fine but how to do it locally i.e. within Xcode 5 itself. – Jayprakash Dubey Apr 29 '14 at 07:24

Select Source Control -> Check Out… This shows a “Check Out” dialog.

This is Check Out

Select SVN from Recents or Repositories tab.

Check out dialog

Now, select the directory in which to check out the project.

Click on “Check Out”. This updates the local project to remote SVN.

This only describes how to add repositories, not how to import files into a repository. – Julian F. Weinert Oct 17 '13 at 11:45

In XCode 5, you can add/view repositories at Xcode->Preferences->Accounts. You can also view/enter the repository at "Source Control"->"Check Out..."

That is true, but you cannot add new project to repository using CheckOut command. You can only import existing one. – vedrano Sep 25 '13 at 08:33
This worked pretty well for me... I created an empty folder on SVN; checked it out as @rakmoh suggests; copied the contents of my project into the checked out folder; and now I can easily commit the project using xCode. This is pretty similar in concept to the accepted answer but without using command line – Edd Mar 26 '15 at 16:45
