Kotlin Multiplatform - ERROR ITMS-90171: Invalid Bundle Structure

Question

I've a problem trying to distribute my iOS app with Kotlin Multiplatform on the Apple App Store:

ERROR ITMS-90171: "Invalid Bundle Structure - The binary file 'Smiledu_app.app/Frameworks/shared.framework/shared' is not permitted. Your app can’t contain standalone executables or libraries, other than a valid CFBundleExecutable of supported bundles. Refer to the Bundle Programming Guide at https://developer.apple.com/go/?id=bundle-structure for information on the iOS app bundle structure."

I checked that it doesn't exist in Build Phases -> Copy Bundle Resources

This is my build.gradle.kts

Removing your "shared.framework" from "Embed Frameworks" section might solve your issue. Make sure you validate the build locally before pushing it to TestFlight.
