In `set_target_properties` I can choose between iPhone and iPad as destinations for my iOS app using `XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_TARGETED_DEVICE_FAMILY`.

However Xcode also shows destinations **Mac (Designed for iPad)** and **Apple Vision (Designed for iPad)**. How can I selectively exclude these? eg. I want to keep Apple Vision and exclude Mac.

Hi,  
I have a similar question, for my part I want to remove both **Mac (Designed for iPad)** and **Apple Vision (Designed for iPad**. Did you find a solution?  
Thanks.

No solution yet. For what it’s worth ChatGPT thinks there’s no way of doing this, except manually in Xcode.

OK thanks, that’s what I expected. Maybe in a future update of Xcode. To be continued!
