[Build] Building for Mac Catalyst Fails When Installed Via Cocoapods

[SeymourNickelson]

Describe the issue

When creating a new Xcode project (Objective-C/Storyboard) then created a pod file using pod 'onnxruntime-c' the build works fine for iOS but when switching to Mac Catalyst it fails with the following error: Framework 'onnxruntime' not found.

I see in the Release Notes that Mac Catalyst is now supported. I'm not sure if I need to configure the pod file in a special way to get Mac Catalyst support but I couldn't find any documentation on this.

I'm on Xcode Version 16.2 (16C5032a)

There's a mac-catalyst build in the nuget package for use by MAUI apps. You can get the xcframework from there if needed.

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime

The nupkg is zip file. onnxruntime.xcframework.zip is under runtimes/ios/native and contains ios, ios simulator and mac-catalyst builds.
