Description

I have a project reference to be embedded in my main project, using its targets, but it only gets embedded in one target.

projectReferences:
  MyProject:
    path: Projects/MyProject/MyProject.xcodeproj

Targets:

MyTarget:
  dependencies:
      - target: MyProject/MyProject
        link: true
        embed: true

MyTargetOne:
  dependencies:
      - target: MyProject/MyProject
        link: true
        embed: true

Only one of the targets embeds the dependency.

Research direction

Reproduce the configuration using Projects/MyProject/MyProject.xcodeproj and the MyTarget and MyTargetOne dependency entries, then trace how projectReferences and target dependencies are processed. Done means the referenced project is embedded in both targets when each dependency has link and embed enabled.
