Trying to create a small iPad application that supports an external display. I understand I have to support multiple windows to do that but for some reason there is no check box next to that feature (see screenshot). Is there something I am missing? Might be a dumb question but cannot seem to figure it out as I am pretty new to Xcode and iOS development. Thanks in advance

Click on the little arrow next to "Supports multiple windows", or go to the "Info" tab, and you will see a small property list table
Expand the row that says "Application Scene Manifest"
Inside you will see the key "Enable Multiple Windows"
Set the value for this to YES (the default)

If any of these keys are not there, you will have to add them yourself.

I don't know if the checkbox was removed intentionally or not, but it does seem a little strange.
