* '''Navigation-based Application''' – Though the name may suggest otherwise, this type of application has nothing to do with maps and street directions. In fact it allows you to create a list based application. Selecting an item from a list displays a new view corresponding to the selection. The template then provides a Back button to return to the list. You may have seen a similar technique used for news based applications, whereby selecting an item from a list of headlines displays the content of the corresponding news article.
* '''Open GL ES Application''' – As discussed in [[iOS 4 Architecture and SDK Frameworks (iOS 4 Xcode 4)|iOS 4 Architecture and SDK Frameworks]], the OpenGL ES framework provides an API for developing advanced graphics drawing and animation capabilities. The Open GL ES Application template creates a basic application containing an Open GL ES view upon which to draw and manipulate graphics.
* '''Split View Application''' – An iPad only application template with a user interface containing two views in a master-detail configuration whereby a one view provides a list and second displays detailed information corresponding to the current list selection.
* '''Tab Bar Application''' – Creates a template application with a tab bar. The tab bar typically appears across the bottom of the device display and can be programmed to contain items which, when selected, change the main display to different views. The iPhone’s built-in Phone user interface, for example, uses a tab bar to allow the user move between favorites, contacts, keypad and voicemail.
