I have two iOS apps, both depending on the same framework.

```auto
set_target_properties(FooApp PROPERTIES 
  XCODE_EMBED_FRAMEWORKS MyFramework
  XCODE_EMBED_FRAMEWORKS_CODE_SIGN_ON_COPY ON)

set_target_properties(BarApp PROPERTIES 
  XCODE_EMBED_FRAMEWORKS MyFramework
  XCODE_EMBED_FRAMEWORKS_CODE_SIGN_ON_COPY ON)

```

The result is **only one of them** has `Embed & Sign` set when I check the generated project in Xcode.

I have noticed there’s a very recent commit ([0282429c](https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/commit/0282429c5a11e3e8807af866c3983252ebe13b82)) that seems to be very closely related to my issue.

I have tested with CMake built from master and it does _something_, but not what I expect. It gives the same result as before if I embed the framework by giving it as a target … but it gives the correct result if I use the path to the framework.

Suggestions?

Could you please [open a new issue](https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/new) in the issue tracker for this? It sounds like [the change](https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/merge_requests/9985) that went in a week ago might not be a complete fix.
