Just a quick note for XCode 3.x: the folder in which the ProjectTemplate contents actually is:

~/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Project Templates/Application/The Name of the Template

(notice the extra Application directory right after the Project Templates portion of the path.

I understand the “Home” sign(“~”) well enough. I did move the templates into ~/Library/…/Xcode to keep things in line with the other applications that I have and I reset the links. Thanks!

Your own templates should be stored in the “~/Library…” folder not the “/Library…” folder. Notice the trailing “Home” sign (“~”). Basically anything that is user specific would go into the “~” path. The systemwide “/Library..” path is managed by the XCode installation or things that you need to install systemwide.

I had a problem trying to create the folders "Project Templates" and "User Templates". Trying to add the files under /Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools/File Templates didn't work for me.

Actually the "Project Templates" folder already existed. But I could only add "Smart Folders" under ../Shared/Xcode using Finder. I didn't want to create a Smart Folder, so popped up a terminal to look and see what was up. Inside the /Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Project Templates folder, there was a folder named MacFuse. I had installed MacFuse a while back. Well the MacFuse folder was symbolic link pointing to where the MacFuse templates resided. I put your project template in a separate folder on my machine and then created a symbolic link to it under the Project Templates folder. I then created a File Templates folder under the above mentioned Xcode folder. I put your file template in a separate folder on my machine and then created a symbolic link to it under the File Templates folder that I just created.

When I brought up Xcode, the project template (in MyProjectTemplates) was now there under User Templates.

Note:

While I was in /Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Project Templates

I created the link with:

ln -s '/My iPhone Stuff/My Project Templates' ./MyProjectTemplates

While I was in /Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/File Templates

I created the link with:

ln -s '/My iPhone Stuff/My File Templates' ./MyFileTemplates

Nice! I had to add the files under /Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools/File Templates to make them visible under XCode.

Do these work for the 3.0 SDK?
