[bug] MacCatalyst x86_64 is building with macOS flags and not macabi about ios-cmake HOT 5 OPEN

Also, CMake guys sad that the flag CMAKE_XCODE_EFFECTIVE_PLATFORMS don't exists.

If you use -G xcode in the generate cmake config command, the source code internally will be compiled using -target x86_64-apple-Macos10.15. If -G xcode is not used, will use -target x86_64-apple-ios13.1-macabi. Since the CMakeLists.txt of my project is configured with many Xcode-related properties, I need to compile the source code using the project generated by XCode.

After generating the XCode project, at the build stage I used the command xcodebuild-configuration Release-parallelizeTargets -jobs 2 ARCHS=x86_64 -sdk macosx SUPPORTS_MAC_CATALYST=YES -project myproject.xcodeproj -scheme myproject -destination 'platform=macOS,arch=x86_64,variant=Mac Catalyst' to generate the maccatalyst framework, This command uses -target x86_64-apple-ios13.1-macabi internally. You get the same effect as not use -G xcode.

Having the same issue here, would like to use Xcode generator e.g. for module map generation, however for Maccatalyst target hitting this issue. Any ideas why/how to get target selected for maccatalyst?

I think I have the same issue. I generate framework .xcodeproject with CMake and use it in big app when debugging.
It is the only way to debug for me.
For now I can add Mac(Catalyst) platform manually.
Building without '-G Xcode' works good, thanks for your work !

This is pretty important because frameworks built using standard CMake Makefiles will not pass app store review for lack of certain properties like MinimumSystemVersion, etc. This can be worked around by using "custom Info.plist" but the Xcode target will do all of this automatically.
