I have an e-commerce site I’m trying to produce an iPap specific app for and am struggling with the best way to recreate the menu structure. We have a top level menu that lists product categories. Clicking on that displays the list of products in the selected category. Clicking on the product takes you to the product detail page.

It seems like a great place for a UISplitViewController but I’m struggling with the two levels of browsing. Should I do a single table controller for the product categories taking you to a UISplitViewController with the product list and product detail? Or just two separate tableviews leading to a normal view and not mess with the splitview? How have other app handled this? I’m honestly not that much of an iPad user, so I’m not familiar with how other apps have done this type of thing.

    The design with the UISplitViewController is what you should go for. You can then deal with your hierarchy incode more or less like you would on an iPhone with a plain navigation controller.
