=======
ramtops:~ fritza$ locate MobileDevice.framework | grep -v sdk
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/CodeResources
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/MobileDevice
...
=======
Note the directory name "PrivateFrameworks." This indicates the framework is private. It is not documented. It is subject to change (both API and behavior of existing API) in minor revisions of the operating system. It relies on the internal implementation of OS software that is likewise undocumented, private, and subject to change. It is not supported. For all I know, using it is in violation of the Mac OS X license.
There may be reverse-engineered documentation somewhere out there, but non-Apple software relying on it is not fit for public release.
I advise against using it.
