Organizing an iOS App with Storyboards

I'm new to iOS programming and being the organizational freak that I am, I'd like to have a good clean structure for everything I am working on.

  1. Should I create real folders to represent the groups that I have created in Xcode and organize my code that way?
  2. Should I rename the groups I have now to any other names?
  3. I am going to be needing an API, where should I put it?

Here's my current layout:

    And here's what my Xcode project structure typically looks like:
