Xcode 6: No Frameworks Folder in Project Navigator

Question

I am using Xcode 6 and following an Xcode version 4 tutorial so things are different here and there.

There doesn\'t seem to be a Frameworks folder in my project navi

Answer 1

In short, no, you shouldn't need to create a Frameworks group yourself as Xcode is doing stuff automatically for you...

Apple are slowly, gently pushing developers in the direction of newer Clang features with the goal of making native iOS development more approachable for newbies who don't have previous experience of compiling and linking with C-based languages.

You'll find that Objective-C projects created with Xcode 6 have new build settings enabled by default including Link Frameworks Automatically (CLANG_MODULES_AUTOLINK) and Enable Modules (C and Objective-C) (CLANG_ENABLE_MODULES).
