Creating iPhone Project Template for XCode 4

How does one create a re-usable Project Template for XCode that will show up as an option for me to start development of a new Project?

I've hunted down several web pages and blogs and I can't seem to make this work too well. I've tried a number of instructions around the web but can't get my template to show up in XCode no matter what I do... what's the secret?

Having the template show up in Xcode shouldn't be too difficult. The important thing is for the template files to be in your user template folders location. For example:

/Users/user728651/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates

Under that folder create a new folder called - for example - "My Templates"

Then, copy one of the default templates across to the new "My Templates" folder. For example, try copying the iOS Master-Detail template from:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/Templates/Project Templates/Application/Master-Detail

to:

/Users/user728651/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/My Templates

When you select New Project in Xcode, you will then see:
