AppKitAdditions require AppKit - they are specifically tied to AppKit graphics 
models and data structures, none of which exist on the iPhone.  Nor, for that 
matter do any of the sophisticated AppKit based text rendering mechanisms that 
use the various things in AppKitAdditions.

If you have specific things in mind that you need, you should file an 
enhancement request at bugreporter.apple.com.

Yeah NSAttributedString is available in 3.2, but what would have been more 
helpful would be having the AppKit additions of NSAttributedStrings.
The CFAttributedString and the NSAtttibutedString in 3.2 looks kinda half 
hearted effort without the AppKitAdditions

That will work, but wouldn’t saving it as RTF be a more standard way of doing 
it? (Or does the RTF import/export category on NSAttributedString not exist in 
UIKit?)

Look like it is.

NSAttributedString:

Availability
Available in iPhone OS 3.2 and later.

And it conforms to NSCoding.

Is NSAttributedString a public type in 3.2?

Check the Omni text editor source on Github and see if we have code to  
serialize attributed strings.

If it behaves as the Mac OS CFAttributedString, cast it into an 
NSAttributedString and use an archiver.
