Can't create a custom class in XCode 6

I upgraded from XCode 5 to XCode 6 and I'm a little stuck. I need to create a custom class, but I can't figure out how to do it anymore! When I create a new Objective C file, I get a pull down menu with several choices I don't understand. The "Empty File" creates an implementation file but no header. Some of the others create things like "NSObject+BlogReader.m (or .h)". Any help would be appreciated.

Edit - Nevermind. I found it under "create Cocoa Touch Class"

Edit - Nevermind that. It doesn't actually work. I still don't have an answer.

I had the same problem. My solution was under "Create Cocoa Touch Class" though, even though you said that didn't work for you. Maybe you just overlooked it too quickly? This is what I do:

Create a new file and then click "Cocoa Touch Class" (It's under Source under IOS). Then simply name your class and and subclass - for example: Class: MyCustomClass
SubClass: NSObject

This will create MyCustomClass.h and MyCustomClass.m

It worked after I read your answer. I must have done something wrong the first time. Thanks for the help!
