Creating sub-groups in XCode 4 Templates

Question

While there is quite a lot of documentation and example for creating templates in XCode 3 converting them to XCode4 Templates is quite a nightmare...

First here is w

Answer 1

I've been struggling with this one myself too. As a workaround I've created and added a folder in my TemplateInfo.plist location (in your case that should be folder named Group1). The folder layout (subfolders and files) are the same as I want them to be in my project source tree ( e.g folder 'Group1' has subfolder 'Group2', folder 'Group2' has files File1.h and File1.m etc). Then I just add the root folder (Group1) in my TemplateInfo.plist file by defining it in the Definition section and by adding it to the Nodes section like this:

<key>Definitions</key>
<dict>
<key>Group1/</key>
<dict>
<key>Path</key>
<string>Group1/</string>
<key>TargetIndices</key>
<array/>
</dict>

<key>Nodes</key>
<array>
<string>Group1</string>
</array>

Answer 2

I've tried many times modify the TemplateInfo.plist and I've also tried to make a sub group and put files in them. Finally I found the solution:

Definition section:

<key>Definitions</key>
<dict>
    <key>main.h</key>
    <dict>
        <key>Path</key>
        <string>main.h</string>
        <key>Group</key>
        <array>
            <string>parent</string>
            <string>child</string>
        </array>
    </dict>
</dict>

in the node section:

<key>Nodes</key>
<array>
    <string>main.h</string>
</array>

The code above will create groups parent and child. and the main.h is in the child

Project
--parent
---child
----main.h
