it looks like impossible for me archiving and uploading an app (previously iOS) to app store ad a mac catalyst app.
The problem is this app uses a framework, XCFramework format, compiled both for iOS, simulators, and maccatalyst. iOS upload has no problems. macOS upload has this error:
Code signing "A" failed
and digging in the logs: "code object is not signed at all"

"VisualnoteIosBle"is my framework
I saw some discussion on this online and tried:
- disabling bitcode on both the framework and the app
- compiling for maccatalyst only
- stripping bitcode with xcrun bitcode_strip (I get a "bundle format is ambiguous (could be app or framework)" after this)
- including directly my source in the app (I get a lot of other errors in the objective C and swift bridge)
the framework is distributed via cocoapods but including it directly give the same error
what am I possibly doing wrong? why so difficult to compile a simple framework?
I'm running out of option here ...
