Different Views for Ipad and Iphone in same App

So I was wondering, how can I do a App that show different view layout for an Ipad and a Iphone/Ipod? Also, is there any tutorial that teach how to use the others Xcode interfaces, like Tab or Page-Based application?

There's a few ways to accomplish this. The current preferred method is to use the new size classes and build your UI based on those. If you handle all the cases your UI will work on all devices. Interface Builder in Xcode 6 has support for this built in.

Another solution is to make a xib for both iPhone and iPad. You can check the device idiom and then manually load the xib. Alternatively if you want to use the same ViewController just append ~ipad.xib to your iPad xib and it will be loaded automatically on iPads.
