Changes 2025

• Upgraded to .NET9. Build with XCode 16.2.
• Upgraded to xcframework (to be able to support M processor), "lipo" command no longer necessary
• Added support for Arm64 (M processor) simulator
• Shorten file paths (abbreviated to WCP (=WidgetCenterProxy)) due too long paths with xcframework
