I spent many hours to figure out why my app is now other item not the iOS app

you will see the Distribute Content instead of Distribute App
Version and Identifier are now gone
I test it on Xcode 13.3
the last archive you will see in the image is the one that Creation Date is 3 Apr 2022 17:55

I try to build with the previous version (Xcode 13.2.1)

The error appears Package.resolved file is corrupted or malformed
- I delete the Package.resolved
- Then the error is gone
I try to archive again and it works
Creation Date is 3 Apr 2022 18:30

The problem seems to occur when using an older Xcode project opened with the current version of Xcode (13.3).

The most common cause of this is that your build has created multiple installable build products. For an archive to show up as an app, it must have exactly one build product.

One of my colleagues have published a couple of technotes about this issue:
