SDKs (Software Development Kits) are bundles that contain headers, binaries, and other tools needed to build for a specific version of iOS. These can be found within Xcode at Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs.
Retrieving without a Mac
The legal way to download an SDK without access to a Mac is to download a disk image (DMG) of Xcode from Apple. These are available at developer.apple.com (free developer registration required). Usually the latest SDK is best, but if you want an older version, find the Xcode version containing it from this table.
