iPhone and iPad development

Hi,
I have an iOS project where the client wants an iPhone and iPad app.
Do you recommend creating a single project and using breakpoints to sort the layout on different screen sizes or create two separate projects?
Cheers Paul.

My vote…definitely one project (along with one other project for the backend.)

Thanks, that was my first thought.

I would generally do anything to avoid duplicating stuff so would 100% agree with @mebeingken.

I 99.9% agree with @mebeingken and @sitestreet but would ask what the purpose/workflow of the ipad vs iphone versions are. If they are dramatically different (which is pretty rare), you might want to have two separate projects. If users generally do the same things on both, then definitely go for just one project.
