Public Framework
Foundation.framework
Availabile	1.0 – present
Class Prefix	NS
Headers	[headers.cynder.me]

This is the basic Objective-C-based framework, used by everything. Provides NSString, NSDictionary, NSArray, ... It provides many classes that wrap CoreFoundation classes, but also provides unique functionality above and beyond that.

Mac OS X classes that are undocumented on the iPhoneOS

There are several classes that are present on both Mac OS X and iPhoneOS, but the corresponding documentation are not found on the iPhoneOS.

Class	Possible reason for being undocumented
NSAffineTransform	CGAffineTransform is used instead.
NSUnarchiver and NSArchiver	Deprecated — use NSKeyedUnarchiver and NSKeyedArchiver instead.
NSPointerFunctions, NSHashTable and NSMapTable	No garbage collection on iPhoneOS.
NSHost	Who knows?
NSTask	SDK-compatible programs are not supposed to open other executables.
NSPortMessage	SDK-compatible programs are not supposed to perform IPC. (Although NSMessagePort is documented.)
NSProtocolChecker	Distributed objects are not available on the iPhoneOS.
NSURLDownload	Who knows? (Note that NSURLDownload was not available.)
