You also can select File⇒New⇒New Project at any time, as shown in Figure 3.2.
Either option displays the drop-down panel shown in Figure 3.3. This is the unified list of templates for both
iOS and OS X. The list of categories at the top left separates the two target operating systems and groups tem-
plates for each into categories. The Application category is the most useful, but many developers also use items
from the Framework & Library collection. Application and System Plug-ins are more specialized, and the Other
category includes a complete blank project for iOS and OS X, and an External Build System template for OS X
only that can work with an external makefile and command-line compiler. Table 3.1 summarizes the categories.
TIP
You can ignore the categories and show every template for an OS by clicking the iOS or Mac OS X headers.
FIGURE 3.2
To show the templates after you've started working and the boot window is no longer visible, select the New Pro-
ject option from the Xcode menu tree.
