You will see a templates folder inside "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode" here you will see project files and templates that you can edit or create a new one if you like.

Depending on your question go to this folder "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/Templates/File Templates"

Here you can achieve what you are trying to do by adding an empty navel for the iPad using the nib view controller template. I downloaded the sample I made, it still works but it will create 2 nibs as needed.

[my custom template]
http://www.saplogix.net/Xcode_Custom_Template/TwoNibTemplate.zip
extract and copy that inside this folder "~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/File Templates"

Note: create the directory if it not already there.


Todo: add code to download a specific nib based on the device, which you just need to add as well. Also it will only work for UIViewController as superclass.

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
    if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone)
    {
        self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
    }
    else
        if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)
        {
            NSString *_nibBundleOrNil = (NSString *)(nibBundleOrNil != nil ? [nibNameOrNil stringByAppendingString:@"_iPad"] : [NSStringFromClass([self class]) stringByAppendingString:@"_iPad"]);
            self = [super initWithNibName:_nibBundleOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
        }

    if (self)
    {
        // Custom initialization
    }
    return self;
}

My template will create the following entry and you can use it to create a dual tip controller. My template will produce the following entry u can use that to create controller with 2 nibs.

To do this, you can create your own template controller template. It is easier to create a new file template than to create a new project template, so it can be done.



I gave you a presentation a while ago - the slides might be helpful.

Create a viewcontroller with the following naming convention: either create an iphone / ipad xib like "viewcontrollername~iPhone.xib"

or@"viewcontrollername~iPad.xib"

and below link states is the same, provides a way to differentiate ipad and iphone in your viewcontroller.h and viewcontroller.m

When you create your new Xcode project, select the Single View app from the options page, from the Devices drop-down list, select Universal. This will create both iPhone and iPad.

From the beginning to the end:

File -> New Project

Select Application Single View → Next

Devices → Universal
