How to build and embed correct app extension using multiple xcconfigs?

Question

I have an app with (intent) extension. Each of these targets has multiple configuration files.

For 'MyAppName' target I have:

Debug.xcconfig
    PRODUCT_NAME = $(inherited) Debug
    ...
Beta.xcconfig
    PRODUCT_NAME = $(inherited) β
    ...

For intent extension I have:

Debug.xcconfig
    PRODUCT_NAME = $(inherited) Intent Debug
    ...
Beta.xcconfig
    PRODUCT_NAME = $(inherited) Intent β
    ...

In there configuration files I also provide different bundle identifiers, code signing entitlements etc.

I am able to run the app on a device in Debug configuration, but as soon as I try to archive (for ad-hoc distribution) using Beta configuration I get an error:

/.../Xcode/DerivedData/MyAppName-bqreatpwtojzljfgrfobqszbpuvn/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Countdown/BuildProductsPath/Beta-iphoneos/MyAppName Intent Debug.appex: No such file or directory (in target 'MyAppName' from project 'MyAppName')

For some reason the compiler is trying to locate MyAppName Intent Debug.appex and not MyAppName Intent β.appex as it should. If I look at Embed App Extensions in Build Phases of MyAppName target, I can see there entry MyAppName Intent Debug.appex ...in build/Debug-iphoneos.

How should I build and embed correct app extension? Any help would be appreciated.

The same problem happend to me.

I don't using .xcconfig files but similar to this user-defined settings in the build settings.

replacing 'Bundle name' in the Info.plist of the Watch and App target by the same user-defined setting constant did the job for me.
