Description

First time trying to use supportedDestinations. This configuration in project.yml

targets:
  AppName:
    type: application
    platform: auto
    supportedDestinations: [macOS, iOS]
    deploymentTarget:
      macOS: 15.0
      iOS: 18.0
    dependencies:
      ...

Does not set any deployment targets in the generated pbxproj file. When I open the generated project in Xcode (testing with Xcode 26) the deployment target for both macOS and iOS are set to 26, not the desired values.

Am I doing something wrong? Is this a limitation of supportedDestinations? I've tried it both with and without setting platform: auto. No difference.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with the shown project.yml configuration, then inspect how supportedDestinations and deploymentTarget are translated into the generated pbxproj. Verify the generated project settings for macOS and iOS, and consider the issue done when they use 15.0 and 18.0 instead of Xcode 26 defaults.
