Is it possible to write an obj-C code with any text editor and then upload it to Mac server to compile it using Xcode?? I know that it is possible to compile your project using Xcode without open it something like use some command lines, but I am not sure is it possible to make it a server and then upload any obj-c code!

A:
You can compile your projects from the command line using the xcodebuild command. Automating your builds is another story altogether: you'll need to set up your server to download the updated source code (typically via version control, e.g. svn update or p4 sync), do the build, and then upload the builds results somehwere (e.g. check into version control).
Doing this is non-trivial, and there's a lot of software out there, such as FinalBuilder, to help make this easier, although FinalBuilder is Windows software so probably isn't what you want.

+1 because we do this at my place of employment, but FYI, `xcodebuild` requires having a fully-configured .xcodeproj file. If you just want to compile some .h and .m files, `gcc` or `clang` will work just fine.

what if I want to submit projects made by another IDE (not Xcode)?

@alex CSD - then you can't use `xcodebuild` and must use `gcc` or `clang`
