Xcode 6 - Empty Application
With the release of Xcode 6, a curious omission has forced some iOS developers into a mad Google scramble. This option is not used by all, or even many, but it is a rather helpful educational choice and the perfect state for those who seek total control of the project. There is no more Empty Application option when starting a new project in Xcode 6.
Getting the old familiar Empty Application is, however, not to difficult. The following steps will prepare a blank slate for a new project in Xcode 6.
Create a New Project, and choose the Single View Application option.
In the Project Manager, delete Main.Storyboard and LaunchScreen.xib.
In the Supporting Files folder, select Info.plist. Remove "Main storyboard file base name" and "Launch screen interface file base name”.
Open AppDelegate.m, and edit application:DidFinishLaunchingWithOptions: so that it matches the following:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
