New Obj-C class has no template code

When I create, for example, a new subclass of UITableViewController, no sample code ever loads in the project like it does or Ben and Amit in the videos.

what version of Xcode are you using and what version are they using? it should come with some code (some imports, the class name, the subclass etc) but it might not have all the methods automatically depending on your version. some methods that automagically get generated for amit or ben you might have to implement yourself because of version differences if the video is bit older.

For example some of the tableView delegate methods like cellForForAtIndexPath you might have to add to your view controller yourself. just start typing the method signature and then select the appropriate method name from the auto complete box in xcode.

if you need to implement cellForRowAtIndexpath then start typing -(UITableViewCell *)tableView and then select the method you need from autocomplete which is - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
