New features and other updates
Changed naming scheme for bound package and shielded application

Old naming schema:
wrapped-<original package file name>.<original package file extension>
wrapped-<original shielded application name>.zip
New naming schema:
shielded-<original package file name>.<original package file extension>
shielded-<original shielded application name>.zip
Fixes and other changes
SHIOS-2233: Signing problems with Cocoapods
Description: When App Shielding was used in a Cocoapod framework as dependency, signing caused issues.
Status: This issue has been fixed.
Known limitations
The limitations described here have not yet been solved for the current Mobile Application Shielding version. Possible workarounds are described where available.
XCFramework support
App Shielding is provided both as framework and as XCFramework. If you are using a legacy build system on Xcode 11 and later, use the ShieldSDK.framework instead of the newer ShieldSDK.xcframework. Xcode will cause an error when using the XCFramework in the legacy build system.
ARM64E limited support
The ShieldSDK framework is not compiled for the ARM64E CPU architecture, and therefore does not include the corresponding slices. ARM64 CPU ABI should be used instead. At the moment, Xcode 11 does not create an ARM64E target by default. Consequently, no action is required at this point.
External screen block
Blocking external screens (e.g. AirPlay) is currently not working for apps that use UISceneDelegate in iOS 13 and later.
