This project contains two templates for Xcode 4 that are reduced variants of the standard view-based and navigation-based templates.

Installation

Copy the Minimal folder to ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates (create the Templates folder if it doesn't exist yet). Xcode's new project dialog should now have an additional "Minimal" section.

Differences from Standard Templates

• No nibs
• No verbose comments
• Tab indentation
• Class names are not prefixed by project name (AppDelegate instead of MyNewProjectAppDelegate)
• All templates have an option for setting the device family (iPhone, iPad, Universal)
• QuartzCore.framework is included by default
• UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend is on by default – This is meant to make testing on a device easier during the initial stages of development.
