Hi,
I've updated the Project Template to use 0.8.0-beta.
It's also statically-linked as per Clint Harris' article: http://www.clintharris.net/2009/iphone-app-shared-libraries/
Roll over to: http://github.com/tjweir/cocos2d-application/tree/master
and clone the repo into Project Templates in your Xcode Library.
You *must* update the COCOS2D_SRC variable in Prefs > Source Trees.
