How to add deleted frameworks again

Question

I accidentally deleted AVFoundation , CoreFoundation , Foundation and UIKit.framework , CoreGraphics.frameworks frameworks form my Xcode. Is there any ways to restore them.. or i will have to re-install the Xcode again.

Answer 1

If you haven't emptied the trash yet, close Xcode and open the Trash in Finder. Find the framework folder you accidentally deleted. In Finder, open another window with the path /System/Library/Frameworks (beginning on Macintosh HD if you want to open the folder manually), and drag-copy the framework from the Trash to the Frameworks folder. Reopen Xcode and you should be able to add the framework again in the target settings.
