Creating a Project That Uses Storyboards

Create an iOS project that’s configured to use storyboards. Most iOS application project templates include the option to use a storyboard. If you use storyboards, your application must be deployed in iOS 5.0 or later.

Your new project contains a storyboard file you can use to begin designing the user interface. If you’re building a universal application, Xcode provides storyboard files for both iPhone and iPad.

Xcode configures the project to use storyboards in other ways, too. For example, Xcode sets the name of the main storyboard(s) in the project’s info.plist file.

Steps

1. From the Xcode File menu, choose New > New Project.

2. Choose a template for an iOS application and click Next.

3. In the project options dialog, make sure the Use Storyboard option is selected.

4. Click Next, specify where to save the project, and click Create.
