iPhone project to iPad project in xcode?

I'm wondering if it's possible to make the iPhone app project I have into an iPad project? So I won't have to redo all coding and connecting everything again. I've gotten that far that I can make the iPhone project run on the iPad but then it's only in the iPhone's size.

I hope this makes sense!

Thank you in advance.

You'll probably need to recreate all those views as iPad views instead of iPhone views. Both would be included into the universal app in a single distribution binary. At runtime, load them dynamically based on the platform.

if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) {
     // The device is an iPad running iOS 3.2 or later. load the appropriate Xibs
}
else {
     // The device is an iPhone or iPod touch. load the appropriate Xibs
}

See Creating a Universal Application

You may be able to design some views to dynamically stretch / resize and won't have to touch them much, however I suggest you tailor the tablet experience more than just "upsized", otherwise you aren't doing the device justice.
