You could try using nm tool to look for EventKit specific symbols in your frameworks binaries, something like:

nm YourFramework.framework/YourFramework | grep EK # EK is a prefix for EventKit classes

Or one-liner (look for files without extension, also ignore CodeResources to reduce irrelevant output):

find YourApp/Frameworks ! -name '*CodeResources*' -type f ! -name "*.*" -exec nm -o -- {} + | grep EK

If there is such you will see something like:

0000000000003fdb t -[ClusterPrePermissions EKEquivalentEventType:]
                 U _OBJC_CLASS_$_EKEventStore

To learn more about nm run man nm in your terminal.

The nm tool is useful when you want to see which symbols a given binary contains. There are plenty of options that you can give to nm but most of the time it is enough to run it without any arguments to answer questions like: is symbol X present in a given binary?
