Question

I want to create a new project in Xcode (4.2), but I don’t need any fancy windows or iOs templates, just a simple, standalone project (with an auto-generated main() perhaps) where I can build some classes and run simple tests.

Is the Cocoa Application template under Mac OS X the most suitable for this?

Answer 1

If you want just a simple, no-ui console app for testing classes, just go with Console Application. It has main.m, and very little else. If you want something completely empty, however, under the Other category for templates, there’s one called Empty.
