iOS App with shared Compose UI module crashes on launch with `MissingResourceException` about compose-multiplatform HOT 2 CLOSED

I investigated more and found that the following build phase, PhaseScriptExecution [CP]\ Copy\ Pods\ Resources is not executed when the CI pipeline runs the xcodebuild command provided. This probably explains why the resources are not available at runtime. I think this phase was run automatically with the same build instructions before updating to Kotlin 2.0.0 and Compose Multiplatform 1.6.11. iOS build phases are not my strength, but I will keep digging and see if I can provide a workaround.

I resolved the issue after referencing this comment in #4720 and updating the steps to reproduce to include the following.

1. In Github Action job 1: ./gradlew shared:assemble
2. In Github Action job 2:

mkdir -p ./shared/build/compose/cocoapods/compose-resources
./gradlew generateDummyFramework
./gradlew podInstall

3. xcodebuild -workspace iosApp/iosApp.xcworkspace -scheme iosApp -configuration Debug -xcconfig iosApp/Configuration/Config.xcconfig OBJROOT=iosApp/build/ios SYMROOT=iosApp/build/ios -sdk iphonesimulator
4. Install and run tests

Adding the mkdir and generateDummyFramework ensures that the resources are copied over as expected. I was a little surprised that this workaround ended up being the solution. I thought I had set up GitHub Action directory caching for ./shared/build, so would expect that any compose-resources needed would have been created when ./gradlew shared:assemble was run in the previous job and then copied over to the iOS app build job. Perhaps, I missed something though 🤷🏼

Thank you for posting the workaround! 🙏🏼
