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

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

I would like to point out that if you can't find "Link Binaries With Libraries" in your build phases tab click the "Add build phase" button in the lower right corner.
