Xcode without Storyboard and ARC

Instead of delete the storyboard file, you can Create a new project with Empty Application template. So that you can avoid the storyboard file creation.

Use following steps to omit storyboard:

1. Create a new project with Empty Application template.
2. Add a new viewController (Example: LoginViewController)
3. Change the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions in AppDelegate.m file as specified below.

Change To:

#import "LoginViewController.h"

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];

    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];

    LoginViewController *loginVC = [[LoginViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"LoginViewController" bundle:nil];
    UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]  initWithRootViewController:loginVC];

    self.window.rootViewController = navigationController;
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

    return YES;
}

Remove ARC: Go to Build Setting -> Objective-C Automatic Reference Counting -> NO

Create a project with an Empty application and Add any viewcontroller (i added TestViewController here)

   - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: (NSDictionary *)launchOptions
 {
   self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
   // Override point for customization after application launch.
   TestViewController *test = [[TestViewController alloc]     initWithNibName:@"TestViewController" bundle:nil];
   UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc]  initWithRootViewController:test];
   self.window.rootViewController = nav;
   [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
   return YES;
 }

STEPS FOR REMOVE ARC

1) In build setting set Automatic Reference Counting to NO.

If you have Already Created Application with storyboard and ARC then

STEPS FOR REMOVE STORY BOARD

1) Remove Main.storyboard file from your project.

2) Add new files with xib for your controller , if it is not added in compiled sources in build phases then add there manually.

3) Remove Main storyboard file base name from plist.

4) Change appdelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions file and add :

self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] ;

[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

just like :

  - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
 {
    self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] ;

     // Override point for customization after application launch.

     TestViewController *test = [[TestViewController alloc]     initWithNibName:@"TestViewController" bundle:nil];
     UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc]  initWithRootViewController:test];
     self.window.rootViewController = nav;
     [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

     return YES;
}

Now,in above example you have to manage memory management manually like ,

 self.window = [[[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] autorelease]; 

 [test release]; 

STEPS FOR REMOVE ARC

1) In build setting set Automatic Reference Counting to NO.

create new project

![Create new Project]

//remove Main storyboard file base name in Info

Add This Code In appdelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];

    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];

    LoginViewController *loginVC = [[LoginViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"LoginViewController" bundle:nil];
    UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]  initWithRootViewController:loginVC];

    self.window.rootViewController = navigationController;
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

    return YES;
}

Then automatic remove your storyboard.
