Xcode is a very powerful IDE created by Apple, where we spend most of our time when developing iOS apps (and also Mac OS applications, for Mac developers).
Every-time we are creating a new Project it gives us a couple of templates to choose from as a starting point.
There are different templates that we can use in different type of applications:
1) Master-Detail Application - when we want to create apps that have Master views, and when tapping on a raw inside it, it takes us to the Detail view, which contains more information about the selected item.
Real examples may be the standard Notes and Contacts apps.
2) OpenGL Game - this is a good starting for an OpenGL app, most offen a game.
3) Page-Based Application - a book like flipping control that takes us from one view to another.
4) Single View Application - this is very commonly used, and it only creates a UIViewController subclass, and a .xib file, or a scene in case of Storyboards (do not worry if you don't know what those mean at this moment, they are basically the User Interface of our app).
5) Tabbed Application - an app that contains more view controllers and an tab like navigation interface. A good example may be Friends, or the standard Clock app.
6) Utility Application - a simple code that has a main view and a flip-side view (usually for a menu).
7) Empty Application - the simplest project that has only the Xcode Project configurations inside it and nothing else.
