Custom AppEntity struct Parameter for AppIntent not working for App Store (appintentsmetadataprocessor bug)

Hello,

I have successfully implemented AppIntents with custom parameters based on AppEntity as described in the WWDC video https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2022/10032/.

When running the app in the iOS Simulator, everything works great.

When trying to archive manually for upload to TestFlight, or using Xcode Cloud the Extract App Intents Metadata archive step fails with the following error:

appintentsmetadataprocessor[89770:29069096] Starting appintentsmetadataprocessor export

appintentsmetadataprocessor[89770:29069096] Writing Metadata.appintents

appintentsmetadataprocessor[89770:29069096] Writing ExtractedParameterSummaryMetadata.stringsdata file

appintentsmetadataprocessor[89770:29069096] Warning: error: could not determine type for property: MyApp.MyIntent.parameter from binary

Command ExtractAppIntentsMetadata emitted errors but did not return a nonzero exit code to indicate failure

The resulting build can actually be uploaded to TestFlight, but the AppIntent does not work properly when used in Shortcuts. The custom typed parameter is shown as in the Shortcuts app as "generic" parameter and can not be properly populated, queried.

For anyone following along, I was missing SWIFT_REFLECTION_METADATA_LEVEL=all for my release mode builds, and thus appintentsmetadataprocessor was unable to parse swift types from the binary.

FYI: Got a reply from DTS, seems to be fixed from macOS Ventura beta 11. Do not have a way to test currently.
