What did you do?

When adding a custom Platform Framework with the same name to a Pod Project and building it locally, there are no issues. However, the following error occurred in Test Flight:

ITMS-90565: Invalid Bundle Structure - - The framework at '/Payload/XXX.app/Frameworks/Matter.framework' is not permitted. Do not include platform frameworks in your app.

This problem was resolved by adding Matter.xcframework to Link Binary With Libraries in the Main Project. However, if Matter.xcframework is not added to vendered_framework in the Pod Project, a No Such Module build error occurs in the Pod Project. If both the Main Project and Pod Project add Matter.framework, the following error occurs:

Multiple commands produce '/Users/XXX/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/XXXX-ftezoitulfteksaezryqlfozlpvh/Build/Products/TEST-iphoneos/XXX.app/Frameworks/Matter.framework'

this is my podSpec and podfile

- PodSpec 
Pod::Spec.new do |spec| 
spec.name = "XXXX"
spec.version = "0.0.1"
spec.summary = "A short description of XXXX."
spec.description = "A detail description of XXX."
spec.homepage = "http://example/XXX"
spec.license = "MIT"
spec.author = { "XXX.XXX" => "[XXXX.XXX@XXX.com](mailto:XXX.XXX@XXX.com)" }
spec.platform = :ios, "13.0"
spec.source = { :git => "http://mod.XXX.com/conv/IoTService_iOS", :tag => "#{spec.version}" }
spec.source_files  = ["XXX/**/*.{h,m,swift}"]
spec.exclude_files = "Classes/Exclude"
spec.vendored_frameworks  = "Frameworks/IotManagerLib.framework" , "Frameworks/Matter.xcframework"
spec.dependency 'RxSwift'
spec.dependency 'Moya'
end

What did you expect to happen?

What I want is for the ITMS-90565: Invalid Bundle Structure error not to occur on TestFlight when I submit it by adding the Platform Framework, Matter.xcframework.

Is it possible to reference the Embed Framework in the Main Project from the Pod Project?

Can I add the modified Matter.xcframework to Link Binary with Libraries in the Pod Project?

I have the same issue.
Did you find a solution?

same issue :(

I have spoken with someone from Apple Developer Support, and they said that 'Matter.xcframework' is a reserved name. I have not tried it yet, but I hope I only need to rename the framework, and not its header files.
