I am wondering if anyone knows where the real MacOS framework binaries are located? The traditional answer would be /System/Library/Frameworks and /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks. Yes, there is stuff in those directories, but not the actual code.
I'm aware that, on iOS, the binaries are all amalgamated into a single, memory-mapped cache file for improved performance; the cache being shared across all running apps. I'm wondering if the same is true of recent versions of MacOS? I could see the real binaries on High Sierra, but not recently.
So I'm guessing that (as on iOS) the individual frameworks no longer exist in discrete form; everything is in a big cache file. But where is it?
It's in:
/System/Library/dyld/dyld_shared_cache_{arch}
(Big Sur / Monterey)/System/Cryptexes/OS/System/Library/dyld/dyld_shared_cache_{arch}
(Ventura).
