# Creating the iOS project

Create a new iOS project and name it as `MvvmCrossDemo.iOS` into the solution, like this:

Use the iOS App (Xamarin) template and select it for iPhone. Note that do not use iOS XAML App (Xamarin.Forms) template. Then install the `MvvmCross` package to the project through the NuGet Package Manager or the console. Like the Android project, add the reference to the `MvvmCrossDemo.Core` project.

Update the default namespace of the `MvvmCrossDemo.iOS` project.
