@executable_path is a macro pointing to the path of the executable binary, and nothing else. @loader_path is a macro pointing to whatever binary has instructions to load the library, which can be the application, or a library/framework, or a loadable bundle. @loader_path is more powerful and allows you to easily embed frameworks inside loadable bundles, which is impossible to do with @executable_path unless the framework in question is bundled with the executable.
