Xcode 5 templates mandate use of Storyboard

Status:Closed Resolved:22-Aug-2013
Product:Developer Tools Product Version:Xcode 5
Classification: Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:

In Xcode 5, "Use Storyboards" is no longer an option when instantiating a project template, and storyboard use is required.

Steps to Reproduce:

- Create a new project.
- Find that you're forced to use Storyboards, or that you have to create a blank project.

Expected Results:

- We get the option of whether we want to use Storyboards, as was the case in Xcode 4.

Actual Results:

- The template forces the use of Storyboards.

Regression:

- Storyboard usage is forced.

Notes:

Xcode 3 was a perfectly usable IDE. I'm disappointed that Xcode 4 and 5 have abandoned much of what made Xcode 3 nice to use in favor of full-screen operation, infinite canvases, and a one-size-fits-all mentality about what your end-developers want and need.

Engineering has determined that this is not to be fixed based on the following information:

There are still xib files available through file templates, but it is intentional that new project creation guides folks towards storyboards.
