Current Behavior

When I run npx cap sync iOS, ios/App/CapApp-SPM/Package.swift b/ios/App/CapApp-SPM/Package.swift is updated to have a double comma in the target:

         .target(
             name: "CapApp-SPM",
             dependencies: [
-                .product(name: "Capacitor", package: "capacitor-swift-pm"),
+                .product(name: "Capacitor", package: "capacitor-swift-pm"),,
                 .product(name: "CapacitorCommunityAppIcon", package: "CapacitorCommunityAppIcon"),

This breaks the build.

Expected Behavior

No invalid double comma should be added.

Project Reproduction

None

Thanks for reporting this issue.

I may be able to prepare a focused PR for this, but I need a bit more implementation context first.

Could you please clarify:

1. Which file/module/page is affected?
2. Current behavior
3. Expected behavior
4. Reproduction steps/logs/screenshots if available

Once clarified, I can continue with a targeted fix.

@tranthequang Is this spam? My initial report clearly answers 1-3.
