Thanks a lot. This works for Xcode 6.1.

You should open-source this and submit it to Alcatraz: https://github.com/supermarin/alcatraz-packages
I put it up on Github (https://github.com/Isuru-Nanayakkara/Xcode-Empty-Application-Template). Also available on Alcatraz now.

For Xcode 6.3.2:
1) Download the Empty Application template from above.
2) Navigate to the correct file location in Xcode:
Finder > Applications > Right-Click on Xcode > Show Package Contents
> Contents > Developer > Library > Xcode > Templates > Base > Other
3) Drag and drop the downloaded template into this location.
