Description

I have configuration with other app added to project byprojectReferences

projectReferences:
  xyz:
    path: ../Modules/xyz/xyz.xcodeproj

and I set

schemes:
  xyz:
    build:
      targets:
        xyz/xyz: all
    run:
      executable: "xyz/xyz"

According to the documentation: image

 executable: "xyz"

or

 executable: "xyz.app"

Not working too

And in project I have settings like this after xcodegen generate image image

Executable is missing 👎 How can I add this properly?

Research direction
Investigate the code that generates Xcode scheme run actions, focusing on the `executable` property. Look at files like `Scheme.swift` or similar in the XcodeGen source to understand how executable is set when a target is from a project reference. Check if there is a missing mapping for targets in referenced projects. The user's config uses `xyz/xyz` format; ensure the parser handles that correctly. Also verify against the documentation.
