[note]: SPM preferred over Cocoapods going forward with plugins

Issue Description

After upgrading Xcode from 26.3 to 26.4, I am not able to install one of my apps anymore (the build succeeds, but installation fails).

Unable to apply changes on device: E411B00B-30CD-44D7-A923-F0D7D900AF9D. 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".

The issue is reproducable with a newly created NativeScript app, that includes the following SPM package:

//nativescript.config.ts
import { NativeScriptConfig } from '@nativescript/core';
export default {
    ios: {
        SPMPackages: [
            {
                name: 'GoogleUserMessagingPlatform',
                libs: ['GoogleUserMessagingPlatform'],
                repositoryURL: 'https://github.com/googleads/swift-package-manager-google-user-messaging-platform.git',
                version: '3.1.0',
            },
        ],
    },
} as NativeScriptConfig;

The 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/.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 ?

I 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.
It was working as expected when Xcode 26.3 was installed.

Reproduction

Sample app for reproduction:
nsxcode26-4-issue.zip

1.) ns run ios -> build succeeds, but installation fails
2.) open platforms/ios/xcworkspace in Xcode and run app from there -> success

Commencez par la reproduction fournie de nsxcode26-4-issue et exécutez ns run ios avec Xcode 26.4. Comparez le chemin de build et d’installation généré de platforms/ios avec l’exécution directe de platforms/ios/xcworkspace dans Xcode, puis examinez la manière dont NativeScript CLI et @nativescript/ios gèrent le package SPM GoogleUserMessagingPlatform. C’est terminé lorsque l’application s’installe correctement via ns run ios avec ce package.
