Hi,

My friend and i have just started building our first app. We are complete beginners, however we want to be able to work on the same code in Xcode from two different locations.

Is this possible? If so, what is the best way to set this up? Thanks in advance for your help.

This is possible, you'll need to look at using some form of version control, such as Git, Subversion or Mercurial (and others I'm sure).

I use Git and it allows me to work on the same project with the rest of my team, and it works really well.

If you don't know much about Git I'd recommend checking this link
 
There are a number of web sites that provide free git-hosting for small projects. For larger projects you have to pay a fee. I use bitbucket.org for this and there are others.
