Linking frameworks to app bundles in Cocoa (via Xcode)

• For the application that's going to use the framework
• Copy the framework to the Frameworks directory under the app bundle
• Add the following entry into the App's Linking section. Essentially where to look for the framework within the bundle
• 

And that's it - you're done. Lots of articles on the web on this (and of-course Apple's documentation).
