In PreFab UI Browser, the 'size' attribute of the splitter group is not marked as settable. Therefore, it is read-only -- you can get its size, but you can't set it.

Try the Finder for comparison. In a standard Finder window, the splitter group is also read-only. However, it has a child, a 'splitter' UI element, and you can set the splitter's 'value' attribute to change the width of the left pane. Xcode's splitter groups do not have a 'splitter' child UI element, so that won't work in Xcode. Your only recourse is to file a bug or feature request with Apple.
