[v0.75.2] macOS (Catalyst) builds fail with `hermes.framework: bundle format is ambiguous (could be app or framework)`

[birdofpreyru]

Description

Migrating my libraries / app from RN@0.74 to the latest RN@0.75.2. When building for macOS (Catalyst) target my build fails with that error hermes.framework: bundle format is ambiguous (could be app or framework). I first posted the issue to the Hermes repo (facebook/hermes#1492), but I was told there, it must be an issue on RN side, how it packages stuff.

@sunshinezxq that looks likes an attempt to trick users into downloading a malware, I got it reported to GitHub :)

Thanks for reporting the user.

QQ: How do I repro it?
I create a new app and try to archive for macCatalyst?

Yes, I just verified, a clean app created with @react-native-community/cli, macCatalyst build fails exactly this same way for me.

Yeah same thing is happening here

I just created a new app with 0.75.2 and I can't reproduce the issue for catalyst (See the screenshot).

We had a similar report back then, but I couldn't repro either.

Can you try run pod deintegrate and try again. I'm afraid that cocoapods cached a wrong version of hermes in your system and tries to use that one to run macCatalyst for some reason.
