Several Errors related to macos version

[cerupcat]

I'm not sure if this is a bug or lack of knowledge, but I have a iOS project that is defined as a package. I want to generate documentation for the main target within that package.

At the top of the Package.swift we have:

    platforms: [
        .iOS(.v16),
    ],

However, when running:

swift package --allow-writing-to-directory ./docs generate-documentation --target MainApp --disable-indexing --transform-for-static-hosting --hosting-base-path MainApp --output-path ./docs

We see many errors related to macos version differences despite not trying to build macos documentation.

the library 'X' requires macos 10.13, but depends on the product 'Y' which requires macos 10.14; consider changing the library 'X' to require macos 10.14 or later, or the product 'Y' to require macos 10.13 or earlier.

Is there a way to specify not to build documentation for macos? We would expect the "platforms" definition in the Package file to be used to determine this.

I don't think this is a bug in the plugin itself.

Do you not get the same errors when building this package?

No, we don't get the same errors when just building our app using the Package.swift file.

OK. Thanks. I need to learn what the generate-documentation command does that's different from a simple package resolution.
