In my project I have 3 targets. A macOS target, a target for iPhone and a target for iPad.

The macOS App has an own Localizable file and I have been able to convert this to string catalog without any issues. I like this catalog!

But when I try to convert the Localizable file that is shared between 2 targets, then targets fail to compile afterwards with the following error message: ...mul.lproj/Localizable.xcstrings:1:1 Localizable.xcstrings cannot co-exist with other .strings or .stringsdict tables with the same name.

Does anybody have an idea how I can resolve this? Do I need to keep individual copies of the Localizable file for these 2 targets?

Well it seems by deleting all Localizable files from this target I was able to solve the issue. After that I created a new Localizable file with the same targets and I created all localizations again. Then I was able to copy the already localized version back. After that the conversion to the string catalog is working again.
