Not all the languages ship the generated file for descriptor.proto, the ones that do, do so because the use them within the runtime support for the library. Objective C is one of the languages that doesn't need them (and doesn't capture the binary descriptor blob either), so the file is left of to cut down on the size runtime support. If you have a need for the types, you can always ship generate it and ship it yourself.

where can we find a descriptor.proto file to use with objective c if we need one?

It is in this project - src/google/protobuf/descriptor.proto
