Xcode Frameworks

In Mac OS X v10.5 and later, Xcode and all of its supporting tools and libraries reside in a portable directory structure. This directory structure makes it possible to have multiple versions of Xcode installed on a single system or to have Xcode installed on a portable hard drive that you plug in to your computer when you need to do development. This portability means that the frameworks required by the developer tools are installed in the <Xcode>/Library/Frameworks directory, where <Xcode> is the path to the Xcode installation directory. (The default Xcode installation directory is /Developer.) Table B-9 lists the frameworks that are located in this directory.
