Cannot find UIKit.framework

Solution 1

UIKit.framework is here /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks

Solution 2

In the newer Xcode versions the iPhoneOS frameworks do no longer include a binary, but include a tbd file. You can find simulator binaries at this path:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/System/Library/Frameworks

Solution 3

New location:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/System/Library/Frameworks

Solution 4

iOS 14, Xcode 12 path I've found here

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/UIKit 

Solution 5

Updated for Xcode 11.3:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework

    I am currently running Xcode 6 beta 2, and I can't find the UIKit.framework. I've looked in System/Library/Frameworks as suggested in Apple's reference page

    All the other frameworks are there, except UIKit.

    Note: I have no issues importing the UIKit framework
