Frameworks are groups of libraries, headers, et. al. which together make up a unit that you can use when programming. Kind of like a DLL on other platforms, except more than that.

A bundle is a structured folder which contains code and other support files. Frameworks are bundles. So are applications.

These are the same as on Mac OS X, since the iPhone OS is Mac OS X (though a special version of it).

See: Bundle Structures

And: Frameworks

  • @rrmmnn They work for me (surprising since they're seven years old). Maybe try again? – Seth Mar 02 '17 at 21:56
  • Well, I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't tried it, but it seems that you're right. Odd behavior indeed. – Seth Mar 03 '17 at 08:15
