Is it possible to change the Xcode template type?

I've got a few years old app which was created using an Xcode template type of app.

I'd like to split the model part of the code (model as in model-view-controller) out into a framework.

Removed the view/controller source files to leave the model code is quick and easy, however the model code is large and complex with a couple of hundred of source files.

Rather than create a new Xcode template type of framework and move the source files into there, is it possible to simply just change the template type of the existing project from app to framework?

Not easily. It really is simpler to start over with the target type you want to have, and then associating the source code with the new target type.
