How can I "add existing frameworks" in Xcode 4?

I can't find the good old "Add existing frameworks" option. How do I do this?

We're talking about Xcode 4 DP2 (in the context of iPhone development, as far as it matters...).

[As per Apple's documentation:](

# Xcode 12

Just drag it into the `Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content` of the `General` section of the `Target`:

**Done!**

Another easy way to do it so that it is referenced in the project folder you want, like "Frameworks", is to:

1. Select "Show the Project navigator"
2. Right-click on the project folder you wish to add the framework to.
3. Select 'Add Files to "YourProjectName"'
4. Browse to the framework - generally under /Developer/SDKs/MacOSXversion.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks
5. Select the one you want.
6. Select "Add"

It will appear in both the project navigator where you want it, as well as in the "Link Binary With Libraries" area of the "Build Phases" pane of your target.

I just added the existing framework folder manually into the project navigator. It worked for me.

In Project:

1. Select the project navigator
2. Click on <kbd>Build Phases</kbd>
3. Click on link binary with libraries
4. Click on the <kbd>+</kbd> button and add your Frameworks

Follow the below five steps to add a framework in your project.

1. Click on *Project Navigator*.
2. Select **Targets** (Black arrow in the below image).
3. Select **Build phases** ( Blue arrow in the below image).
4. Click on the <kbd>+</kbd> button (Green arrow in below image).
5. Select your **framework** from the list.

The frameworks directory is as follows in my computer:

`/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.0.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks`

Not the directory

```lang-none
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSXversion.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks
```
