SonarQube integration with XCode

Question

I have a remote server where I've deployed a SonarQube system, for tracking the quality of the code, and want to integrate Android Studio and Xcode with it.

For Android Studio it worked using:

* SonarQube plugin
* Gradle parameters (sonar.host.url, login, etc...)

for setting up the server and its credentials.

But for Xcode (v8.2.1) I don't know what's the best way to do this, or if any software is needed to be installed.

Has anyone accomplished this?

Answer 1

I did tried that and able to get install SonarQube and Sonar Scanner in Mac Sierra. But the Objective C plugin for SonarQube requires licence from Sonar Community. I have requested for trial version of that and still waiting response from them.
