Mac Catalyst: New project fails to successfully validate in Xcode Organizer

Anyone else having issues with Mac Catalyst app submissions? My validation is failing with an error about an iOS provisioning profile not being valid for the app; my iOS version of this app has been uploaded successfully and was distributed via TestFlight already.

Even an empty/blank project with Catalyst checked does not work. This is with Xcode 12.2 RC, with an upgrade to Big Sur 11.0.1.

Steps:
  1. Create new project

  2. Rename bundle identifier to match listing in App Store Connect

  3. Enable the catalyst checkbox in the iOS target settings

  4. Add app icons to satisfy upload

  5. Specify app category to satisfy upload

  6. Specify app bundle name to satisfy upload

  7. Archive with “My Mac” or “Any Mac” selected

  8. Attempt to validate this archive and expect success

In the organizer log I get the following error message when attempting the above:
"App Store Connect Operation Error
Unable to process application at this time due to the following error: Invalid Provisioning Profile. This provisioning profile is not compatible with iOS apps.."

This app is intended to be a universal bundle identifier and it is set to the identifier that I have successfully uploaded builds to App Store Connect for iOS and released to Test Flight. I checked the configuration of the XC automatic identifier on the developer account page and everything looked fine there.


I created Feedback FB8894428 for this.
