Description

As a Developer I want to ensure that my build scripts work from a clean installation of the project, Xcodegen is a critical component of that process.

With the release of Mac Catalyst, the default signing identity certificates have been renamed from "iPhone Developer" to "Apple Development" so that a single certificate now covers both iOS and Mac signing.

Not updating the CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY build setting can result in failed builds.

The application_iOS.yml should be updated to reflect this change the default signing.

Research direction

Inspect application_iOS.yml and locate the CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY setting used by the generated project. Verify the default signing identity against the issue's Mac Catalyst context, then confirm that a clean project generation uses Apple Development rather than the outdated identity.
