Hi guys,
Im trying use a framework generated by cmake for mac catalyst, but it is not working when try use on xcode:
```auto
mkdir -p /Users/paulo/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Sample-abxdtyhuvlqxbfhcnvbmzhxhtwjl/Build/Products/Debug-maccatalyst/Sample.app/Contents/Frameworks

Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code
```
The main error is:
```auto
ezored.framework: bundle format is ambiguous (could be app or framework)
```
The project iOS sample can be downloaded and executed from my project ezored ([GitHub - ezored/ezored at version-3](https://github.com/ezored/ezored/tree/version-3)). The folder is “projects/ios/Sample”. To fast open, execute:
```auto
cd projects/ios/Sample
make pods-update
open Sample.xcworkspace
```
But if only want the framework, it can be downloaded from here:
[https://ezored.s3.amazonaws.com/dist/ios/1.0.0/dist.tar.gz](https://ezored.s3.amazonaws.com/dist/ios/1.0.0/dist.tar.gz)
Can anyone help me what is wrong?

Hi,
One problem was solved. Symbolic link of generated framework was replaced. Now it is what xcode generated.
Now it is compiling, but when application is executed, i got this error:
```auto
dyld: Library not loaded: @loader_path/Frameworks/ezored.framework/Versions/A/ezored
Referenced from: /Users/ubookmobile/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Sample-gvonzehujbqswscwyybqaryywain/Build/Products/Debug-maccatalyst/Sample.app/Contents/MacOS/Sample
Reason: image not found
```
The strange part is that for iOS, Simulator etc it is working, but only for macOS that is not working.
My CMakeLists.txt is here:

And the relevant part appear be here:
