How do I get iPad templates to appear on new file after converting to universal application?

I have converted a prior iPhone app to universal application. It runs on the iPad and iPhone simulator but when I create a new file, none of the iPad templates are appearing. For example, I want to select the split controller.

How do I make the iPad templates appear?

Solution

  • Unfortunately what you are trying to do is not that simple. After converting an iPhone application to a universal application, you cannot get SplitViewController in the options while trying to add new file. If you want to add a SplitViewController then you have to do some extra work. You have to delete your MainWindow-iPad.nib file and drag and drop SplitViewController from library and have to set it up properly.

    Just have a look at http://useyourloaf.com/blog/2010/4/24/converting-to-a-universal-app-part-iii.html

    That's perhaps what you want exactly. Hope that helps!
