Multiple commands produce Info.plist

Description

Hi, thanks for the xcsync tool!
iOS developer here. We are building a maui app for iOS. We have no problems running the app on the iOS simulator with the steps provided in the MS docs here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/ios/cli?view=net-maui-9.0. (using net9.0-ios).
Now we need to add an iOS native dependency to the project (it's a static lib), and that's how we found this tool. We are running the generate command from VSCode for macOS, and the Xcode project gets generated. However, it's throwing a build error.

We have added the Info.plist and Entitlements.plist files directly to the project and remove the copy bundle step, so the error goes away. But now the project cannot find the MAUI classes.

It looks like there are missing dependencies in the generated project. Is this behavior expected? Are we supposed to add those MAUI dependencies manually?

Thanks in advance!
