TMS-90398: Invalid WatchKit Support - The bundle contains an invalid implementation of WatchKit

Question

Visual Studio Enterprise 2022 for Mac 17.3.7 (build 11)
Xamarin.iOS Version: 16.0.0.72
Xcode 14.0.1

As of this tooling release the app runs with iOS 15.7 and the Apple Watch implementation nows installs and runs as expected on WatchOS 8.7.

Up until this latest release of the Xamarin tooling, the Apple Watch Implementation would not install on the Watch.

The app (with watchkit app) passes validation and the binary being uploaded to the App Store thru Xcode, However a reject email was received from Apple with following reason.

"Invalid WatchKit Support - The bundle contains an invalid implementation of WatchKit.The app may have been built or signed with non-compliant or pre-release tools. Visit developer.apple.com for more information."

Is this a known Xamarin tooling issue that is being addressed during the typical iOS October release sync up by the Xamarin team?

Thanks for any insights into this issue.
