Error is: Command xcrun nsxcode264issue.app/Frameworks/UserMessagingPlatform.framework is missing its bundle executable. Please check your build settings to make sure that a bundle executable is produced at the path \"nsxcode264issue.app/Frameworks/UserMessagingPlatform.framework/UserMessagingPlatform\".\n\nThe issue is reproducable with a newly created NativeScript app, that includes the following SPM package:\n```\n//nativescript.config.ts\nimport { NativeScriptConfig } from '@nativescript/core';\nexport default {\n    ios: {\n        SPMPackages: [\n            {\n                name: 'GoogleUserMessagingPlatform',\n                libs: ['GoogleUserMessagingPlatform'],\n                repositoryURL: 'https://github.com/googleads/swift-package-manager-google-user-messaging-platform.git',\n                version: '3.1.0',\n            },\n        ],\n    },\n} as NativeScriptConfig;\n```\n\nThe issue seems to be related somehow to the GoogleUserMessagingPlatform package as it does not occur with MBProgressHUD as an example, _**BUT**_ when opening platforms/ios/\u003capp\u003e.xcworkspace in Xcode and run the app from Xcode, the installation succeeds as expected, so it seems to be related somehow to NativeScript CLI or @nativescript/ios ?\n\nI tried @nativescript/ios 8.9.5 as well, but with the same result as 9.0.3, so I it might be related to the NS CLI somehow.\nIt was working as expected when Xcode 26.3 was installed.\n\n### Reproduction\n\nSample app for reproduction:\n[nsxcode26-4-issue.zip](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/26270125/nsxcode26-4-issue.zip)\n\n1.) ns run ios -\u003e build succeeds, but installation fails\n2.) open platforms/ios/xcworkspace in Xcode and run app from there -\u003e success\n\n### Relevant log output (if applicable)\n\n```shell\nWebpack compilation complete.
