Difference between two ways of creating tab bar application

[kokok]

Hi,
I have looked at some tutorials online and some of them use different method to make a tab bar application.
Some of them makes tab bar application by choosing "Tab Bar Application" template while some of them makes tab bar application by choosing "Window-based" template.

1)I'm just wondering what are the differences between those two templates when making a tab bar application?

2)What are the advantages and disadvantages of using each template?

Thanks!

The difference is the Window-based application is a "bare bones" template - you have to add in a tab bar controller and any other view controllers yourself.

The Tab Bar Application template comes pre-set up with the root view as a Tab Bar Controller.

The advantage of the Window-based application template is since you have to do everything yourself, it's a better learning experience and you can set up things exactly the way you like.

The advantage of the Tab Bar Application template is it saves you some time if you know that's what you want to do.
