Description
45B9DBB41F62A04002DAB9DB /* PBXTargetDependency */ = {
isa = PBXTargetDependency;
platformFilter = ios;
target = 94E563A2FD80462D82C4E977 /* watchOS Example */;
targetProxy = DAC46A191E3ACE32B698613E /* PBXContainerItemProxy */;
};
I'm trying to support Mac Catalyst for an iOS app, Xcode shows error:
Building for Mac Catalyst, but the embedded app 'watchOS Example.app' is building for watchOS. You may need to restrict the platforms for which this app should be embedded in the target editor.
So how to specify Platforms (platformFilter) for dependencies? Thanks.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing how XcodeGen represents dependencies and emits PBXTargetDependency entries, using the platformFilter example as the expected Xcode output. Done means dependency platform filters can be specified and the generated project avoids embedding the watchOS app in the Mac Catalyst build.
