I tried re-generating the apple project with pnpm tauri ios init, which completed successfully, but I continue to be unable to build or dev the project onto my connected iPhone.
Reproduction
cd <project>/src-tauri
pnpm tauri ios build
missing project.yml file in the Xcode project directory: No such file or directory (os error 2)
Error missing project.yml file in the Xcode project directory: No such file or directory (os error 2)
