Storyboard options not visible to iPad in Xcode v7.0

Question

Created a new project in Xcode 7. With default settings, it created a single storyboard with use size classes selected. I disabled use size classes option in storyboard because my project still needs to support iOS 7.0

I created a separate storyboard for iPad and tried to connect that in project settings. But, can't see options for selecting iPad storyboard.

Here it is a screenshot of settings in my project.

In above screenshot, it shows that I selected device as 'Universal'. Still I can select only one storyboard. For iPad, I don't have an option to select separate storyboard.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Add a new storyboard file named "iPad", and then set as below in Info.plist. Don't forget to check Is Initial View Controller in iPad stroyborad.

You can only provide one interface here. Since you don't want to you size classes, you can manually set the initialViewController of iPad and iPhone storyboards in app delegate. You need to remove main-interface all together from deployment screen.

    window.rootViewController = initialViewController()
    window.makeKeyAndVisible()

and get initialViewController here

    private func initialViewController() -> UIViewController {
        if UIDevice.currentDevice().userInterfaceIdiom == .Pad {
            return UIStoryboard(name: "Main-iPad", bundle: nil).instantiateInitialViewController()!
        } else {
            return UIStoryboard(name: "Main-iPhone", bundle: nil).instantiateInitialViewController()!
        }
    }

Alternatively, you can follow this method too.

I don't think like this. There could be an another way to fix the project settings. — Dinesh Raja, Oct 07 '15 at 08:04
You can name your iPad storyboard Main~iPad.storyboard and let Main.storyboard be the Main controller defined in Deployment Info. — Sahil Kapoor, Oct 07 '15 at 09:01
