I think what you’re asking is how the framework can hook into the same calls that the app delegate receives, even though it can’t provide an app delegate of its own?
Many of the UIApplicationDelegate methods are also posted as equivalent NSNotifications. For example, there’s an UIApplicationDidFinishLaunchingNotification that’s posted at the same time as -application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:. (Well, it’s going to be either just before or just after, but you shouldn’t rely on any particular ordering.) It’s easy to have your framework observe those notifications once it’s initialized.
Some of them don’t have notifications because they need to return a response or because it wouldn’t make sense to have more than one handler; for example -application:openURL:options:. Here the only thing you can do (AFAIK) is to define an equivalent method in your framework’s API, and have the actual app delegate call that method in addition to whatever else it would normally do.

Not that I know of.
