I'm seeing some odd behaviour with our app when its compiled using Xcode 13 and deployed to an iOS 15 device/emulator for a Release build.

The global accent color that is defined in the Build Settings isn't being found in the Release build so the default blue color is shown. But on a Debug build it finds the accent color just fine. And if I deploy to an iOS 14 device/emulator it finds the accent color for both Release/Debug builds. 🤷

I found an alternate solution, which was to set the .accentColor on the main view in the WindowGroup and it gets used across the app.

@main
struct CurvApp: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            myMainView
                .accentColor(CurvGlobalAppearance.curvAccentColor)
        }
    }
}

I wasn't able to reproduce this issue if I created a new project in Xcode 13 so I played around with my project configurations to see if it was due to an older project setting. I wasn't able to resolve the issue this way but it feels like there might be a path if you're persistent.
