Hi,

there are two places where you can observe what framework is available 
on the device and by the SDK or the store:

On the device just `adb shell` in  run `click framework lists` and it 
will list what frameworks the device is labelled up.

The other place where the SDK too pulls the supported frameworks is the 
store itself [1]

The mother of all these lives in the Ubuntu Touch metapackage [2] and 
provided by the ubuntu-sdk-libs package.

The OTA6 update brought the framework label 'ubuntu-sdk-15.10-[.*]' So 
if a developer want to use the API changes brought by the OTA6 then it 
is suggested to bind the application to the '15.10' framework label

cheers,

bzoltan
