When you begin your app, you will be asked for its platform, eg. iphone or ipad or Universal. Select Universal. This will give you three delegates for your project.

YourAppDelegate

YourAppDelegate_iPad

YourAppDelegate_iPhone

Now for ipad, when you add a nib, do not forget to checkmark "Targeted For Ipad". Then in the file YourAppDelegate_ipad.m file,

     // In YourAppDelegate_iPad.m
     - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:           (NSDictionary *)launchOptions
     {
         NSLog(@"iPad App Delegate");
         //insert your controller over here with the specified xib fileName...
         return [super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];
     }

iPhone and iPad user interface are defined in different XIB files. When you create a new XIB, Xcode asks you whether it's for the iPad or iPhone/iPod touch.

Go on, create a new XIB (choose a template containing only a window or view) and you'll see.

(Of course, there are many more steps to perform before it actually works. Read articles about universal apps to know more.)
