Creating a New Project

To create a new project, choose File > New Project. Xcode displays the New Project Assistant, shown here.

The first screen of the assistant shows the available project templates; these are described in “Choosing a Project Template.” You can choose a project template from this list, or you can select Empty Project to create a new project with nothing in it.

When you select a template from this list, a brief description appears in the text field directly below the template list. If there is no text field visible, grab the resize control below the template list and drag it upward.

After you select a project template, click Next; Xcode displays the second screen of the assistant. In this screen, assign a name to the new project and select a location for the project folder. If you type in a path containing directories that do not exist on disk, Xcode will create those directories for you before creating the new project. By default, the Project Directory path is set to '~/' which specifies that the project directory be placed at the top-level of your home directory. When you click Finish, Xcode creates a new project from the specified template.
