Documentation on Apple’s site is sometimes difficult to peruse (a whole other thread and, arguably, always difficult nowadays), but I can guarantee you that it has been documented somewhere and is supported. I’ve been involved in the process of using this process to load one version of a library for a number of airlines’ apps that differ when running during a flight vs when the user is on the ground.
In case you’re not aware of this, iOS and Cocoa Touch are effectively synonymous, and many people use the term library and framework to be synonymous, so, yes, this does exist and is supported.
