Creating xib files in xcode 6 is,

First of all create empty project as, Go to-> File > New >Project, Then select IOS >Other > Empty then Next After that creating a xib file as, Go to->File >New> File then IOS > Cocoa Touch Class and then NEXT Then select Viewcontroller and check for the "Also create XIB file" Then Next
