Maybe this blog post gives you a quick overview, when you want to convert. Otherwise you can create a new project, of course, and copy your code.

You are correct,

  1. Select the Universal option.

  2. Transfer code from the existing iPhone project to the new project. NOW,

  3. Make the xib files for iPad, and make the connections (IBOutlets).

  4. Wherever you need platform specific features (eg. Popover, Split ViewController etc for iPad), put an IF statement to handle the device specific features.

Select View From User Interface Option after that choose iPad from Device Family. This will create Xib for iPad.And then in Files Owner connect your class.
