Conversion of iPhone app to iPad in XCode 4.3.2

Question

I have an application which is already in App Store and developed with XCode 3.2 version. Now I am using latest X-Code version 4.3.3. In previous version we get the option that "Create iPad Conversion" but in XCode 4 we didn't have such kind of option so, I googled some articles and I did following steps: 1. Project navigator -> select target -> right click and selecte duplicate for ipad. 2. On summary tab select devices as "Universal".

When I run the application with iPad simulator I found that still there was showing iphone window with all its controls on Ipad simulator. I didn't get exact iPad window with resized controls.

I have total 14 .xib files with mainwindow.xib. What are the more steps that I have to follow to convert whole project into iPad?

I already convert it as universal. I want some other steps if there are to make this application fully for ipad. — iMash, Aug 06 '12 at 12:07
I explained in my question as I already made it to universal although its not done. So, I want to know is there any other process that I have to follow or I missed something? — iMash, Aug 06 '12 at 12:10

I hope this helps you, Just converting it to universal might not resize your views to iPad size. In my case i had to change UI for iPad at few places in my application. Also, i had to convert my iPhone application to Universal. So, i found this link. Now i have two xibs(iPad and iPhone) for each view as UI was different for both. Also naming was done as follows:

MyViewController.xib         //For iPhone
MyViewController~ipad.xib    //For iPad

If you need to convert the app for iPad only then, just convert the xibs to iPad size.
