How does one create a re-usable Project Template for XCode that will show up as an option for me to start development of a new Project?
I've hunted down several web pages and blogs and I can't seem to make this work too well. I've tried a number of instructions around the web but can't get my template to show up in XCode no matter what I do... what's the secret?
Take a look at this article http://blog.boreal-kiss.net/2011/03/11/a-minimal-project-template-for-xcode-4/. It has an impressive amount of detail on the process of creating an XCode 4 project template. Also, make sure to check out the comment section at the bottom of the article, quiet a few people have added notes and details.
Having the template show up in Xcode shouldn't be too difficult. The important thing is for the template files to be in your user template folders location. For example:
/Users/user728651/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates
Under that folder create a new folder called - for example - "My Templates"
Then, copy one of the default templates across to the new "My Templates" folder. For example, try copying the iOS Master-Detail template from:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/Templates/Project Templates/Application/Master-Detail
to:
/Users/user728651/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/My Templates
When you select New Project in Xcode, you will then see:
