title: How to properly create a storyboard in xCode6 using Interface Builder and Swift
body: <p>I need help using Interface builder to create a storyboard and initial view, using xCode 6 and Swift.   I do not want to start with the template "Single View Application" but with an "Empty Application" - for learning purposes.</p>
  
  <p>I am starting with File->New->Application in xCode 6.
  In the left pane I have selected iOS-> Application and I am choosing the template "Empty Application"</p>
  
  <p>So now, I have my empty application and I want to use Interface Builder to create a story board.</p>
  
  <p>I select File-New-File - then in the left pane I select iOS-User Interface and in the right pane I select Storyboard.  I call my storyboard "Main"</p>
  
  <p>That seems to do nothing, so then upon examining other templates, I decided that I need to go to info.plist and add a key/value pair, and so in info.plist I added a key "Main storyboard file base name"  and a value of "Main"</p>
  
  <p>After that I get the error:</p>
  
  <p>Failed to instantiate the default view controller for UIMainStoryboardFile 'Main' - perhaps the designated entry point is not set?</p>
  
  <p>So now I go to the story board and drag and drop a "View Controller" onto the storyboard, and btw - in the View controller inspector it is checked "initial scene - Is Initial View Controller"</p>
  
  <p>But this doesn't create any swift file - which may be expected, but just to be clear it doesn't.  Now when I try to run, I get the error:</p>
  
  <p>Application windows are expected to have a root view controller at the end of application launch</p>
  
  <p>So any ideas?   I am trying to figure out how you properly use Interface Builder to create a storyboard and initial view and do a basic hello world, without skipping past the use of the tool to have it created for me in a template, because my assumption is you will quickly have more complex apps than can be created from a  template, and it might be good to know how to use the tools - but I am not finding documentation on the subject.</p>
  
  <p>Edit:  strange timing I happened to find the answer just as someone else had also correctly answered the issue for me, so I will edit this post and remove the answer - as the answer below is exactly correct. </p>
