Creating a category in Xcode 6.0 beta

I am currently trying to create a category class for my project and I am running with Xcode 6.0. The main problem that I am having is that I cannot find a category section to select for me to create any categories. Does anyone have any ideas?

If you go to File -> New -> File... this window will pop up. Under iOS Source there is an icon called Objective-C File. Click that and hit next. On the next screen you will see a drop down menu where you can specify the File Type as Category.

Thanks! I got stuck on that video too. I assumed that it was because I had a later version of Xcode, but I didn't know how to fix it! Thanks again!
