Cmake generated Xcode project produces macos app as **appname.app/Contexts/APPFILES** in XCode 16.2 and lower.  
Starts with XCode 16.3, same project produces macos app as **appname.app/APPFILES**. Looks like iOS app format.

What do I have to do to make Xcode project works well in XCode 16.3 also?

PS: Xcode created project from old Xcode works welll in XCode 16.3. MacOS APP bundle is packaged as expected.
