how to release ios app when there is no xcworkspace folder under ios for react native 0.71

[xiongemi]

Description

i generate an empty workspace with react native 0.71.1, i noticed there is no longer an xcworkspace folder under ios.
based on the template folder https://github.com/facebook/react-native/tree/main/template/ios, it is no longer generated. i notice it is under the xcodeproj.

however, for the docs https://reactnative.dev/docs/publishing-to-app-store, i notice in the steps, it says
"Double click on YOUR_APP_NAME.xcworkspace. It should launch XCode."

how do i currently publish my ios app now?
