Xcode 5.0 missing "Use XXX" checkboxes in project templates

Question

When I was using Xcode 4.6, there were checkbox options like:

• Use Storyboards
• Use Automatic Reference Counting
• Include Unit Tests

But in Xcode 5.0, I can no longer see them in all of the templates, except "Use Core Data" option remains in certain templates:

Am I having corrupted templates or it is just normal in the new Xcode?

Answer 1

To get a basic Single View project without a Storyboard, like the old template behaviour:

• File > New Project > Empty Project
• Click on Project in navigator and delete the Unit Test target
• Right-click on unit tests in navigator
  • Click Delete
  • Click Move to Trash
• Click on Project "New File..." > iOS > CocoaTouch > Objective-C Class
• Sub-class of UIViewController
  • check the "With XIB for user interface" box
  • enter class name, eg MyViewController

Add at the top of AppDelegate.m

#import "MyViewController.h"

Then in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions, insert three lines of code:

self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];

MyViewController *vc = [[MyViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
[self.window setRootViewController:vc];

// insert just above this line, which was already created by the template
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

(Pitching this at the level of someone who might for example be following a tutorial and thus struggling to match it to what is going on with XCode 5)

Answer 2

It's normal with XCode 5.

You are mandatory to create a project using storyboard and remove it if you want to use XIB...

But, with this link you can download a good document to explain how create custom template with XCode.

To add your own template you need to go :

~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/

and create the folder Templates if doesn't exist.
