I have an existing project that I'd like to use to create a new but different app with a different name.
I have tried creating a new project and then copying the relevant files over from the existing project into the new project and edited them to have names related to the new app (eg.. FooViewController.h became BarViewController.h). I also copied the xib over and then redesigned it to meet the requirements of my new app idea. This almost worked, except that the app would not display the newly modified xib and kept displaying the previous xib, even though I had the new (copied) xib connected to the new Window and view controller (at least according to the file inspector they were properly connected).
So, then I made a copy of the existing project and modified it into my new app. However if I try to change the name of the app in the P-List to use the new app ID it crashes.
So, my question is, what is the quickest and most trouble-free way to use existing code to create a new app? Is it possible to build to a different target, or are different targets only for different versions of the same base app? Or, is the best way to create a new project, create a new file structure and copy the code in (but not copy over the entire files with renaming) and then build a new xib for it? Or, something else?
