The code is probably being linked to some other framework that links to
ApplicationServices, and that framework probably imports the header
from such a distance that GCC finds it but Xcode doesn't.

When you do a "framework" multi-file search in Xcode, Xcode only
searches the headers for the frameworks that are included in the
project. That's why, when you create a new Cocoa project, the project
template includes the AppKit and Foundation frameworks in its list but
does not include them in the target. If it didn't do that, then you
wouldn't be able to search for things in any of the Cocoa headers.
