SPM resource file is not accessible from Catalyst app

Hi 👋,

We have a SPM in which we included a caf file, is copied to the bundle through the following code

resources: [
    .copy("Resources/silence.caf")
]

The SwiftUI iOS app has no problem reading the caf file from bundle path

file:///Users/{name}/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/B75B8483-D213-4CB9-B30B-462047FA9E1E/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/A9D40BBE-7F25-4145-A750-85E6C19202E1/{app-name}.app/{spm-name}.bundle/silence.caf

But the Catalyst app fails to read saying No such file or directory, but it does exist. CMD + Shift + G fails as well and I had to right click - show content on the .app folder.

file:///Users/{name}/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/{project-name}-ccnjwvhsanbnmkhdqdcgyipagqsg/Build/Products/Debug%20(Staging)-maccatalyst/{app-name}.app/Contents/Resources/{spm-name}.bundle/Contents/Resources/silence.caf

I hope this does not sound confusing. Is this expected behaviour? What would be the fix to make it work for Mac Catalyst app?
