I could not find any Navigation Based Application template in Xcode. As of now, I am just pushing the viewControllers to the stack and then building the application. I wanted to know how can we create a navigation based application where we can set a RootViewController and add the viewControllers onto it.., So that it would be easy to add the NavigationItems to the navigation bar in every view. Thanks
Here is a tutorial for it: Tutorial

Apple suggest to use split-View based application on iPad, Read below for the iOS project types.

I have an application with a navigation controller and a few views, but now I need to add master-detail view mechanism to one of my view controllers. I am using storyboards. How can I implememt such functionality without reinventing the wheel? I've searched the web but all I've found was examples with creating apps as master-detail apps from scratch, I haven't found an example of adding it to an already existing app.
Thank you,
Can.
I have an iPhone application available in appstore.
Now i would like to develop Universal version of the same app.
The iPad version of the current application will be the same. Just screens will be adapted for iPad size. The behaviour won't be changed due to device type.
My question is below:
In iPhone version, there is a page which displays hotel list.
The controller class is:
HotelListViewController.m
HotelListViewController.h
the xib is: HotelListViewController.xib
Now which is best practice for making same page of iPad:
Option 1:
Just creating HotelListViewControlleriPad.xib
and using same HotelListViewController.m and .h
Option 2:
Creating HotelListViewControlleriPad.xib
creating HotelListViewControlleriPad.m and h
thanks.
You need to go by option 1, as only view differs so you need to have different xib for iPhone and iPad.
If in your controller, there is certain view related stuff then you can handle that stuff conditionally.
You can check this thread also for some interested related discussion - How to develop an universal app for iPhone + iPad without xib files?
Either go for option 1 or use the same xib and view controller class as in iPhone but make the view controller a child view controller of the full screen view controller on iPad (for example using split view controller or a custom container view controller).
I'm new to iOS development and am working on this app that has a similar interface to the official Twitter app. However, I'm not sure how to organize the view controllers and the hierarchy, especially for UITabBar and UINavigationBar (which one is the parent controller?).
Can you guys point me to the right direction? I started from a blank window-based application project. A list of view controllers in the order of the hierarchy would be really helpful. Thank you.
Make the TabBar Controller your root controller. Then, in every tab where you need navigation, use Navigation Controller. It will add Navigation Bars, which you can then modify either in IB (where it applies), or programmatically.
How do I start an application which has a similar interface like the Photo application that ships with the iPhone? Specifically an interface with a UITabBarController and UINavigationController both present in the view.
To use both tab and navigation together, you create a tab bar application and change the class of its views from UIViewController to NavigationController. Have a look at this tutorial, it should get you started.
I would check out the Three20 open-source iPhone framework. More specifically their TTPhotoViewController.

I've been playing around with the iPad SDK looking for ways to improve my current iPhone app. I've got a couple place where I think the new "SplitView" would look pretty good. My question is if it's possible to navigate to a "SplitView" with my current navigation based application? Mainly I'm not sure how to push that SplitViewController onto my current stack of views. Any thoughts?
It should always be the root controller according to Apple.
The split view controller’s view
should always be installed as the root
view of your application window. You
should never present a split view
inside of a navigation or tab bar
interface.
You can use a UISplitViewController in a UITabBarController without any problems. I have not attempted to push a UISplitViewController into an UINavigationController however.
(At least) with iOS 8 (which runs on any ipad except the first one) it's possible to use a "present modally"-segue to display a splitviewcontroller.
Drawback is that an existing navigation bar isn't displayed.
Check out the Multiple Detail Views sample app on Apple's Documentation, this could give you a good idea on how to deal with navigation structure and how to display views on the "splitViewController".
