CoreUI is sending warning messages to the Xcode console when creating a UIImage from an image file with Mac idiom from the asset catalog, while running on Catalyst.
- My target is set to support running on Mac Catalyst with Optimize for Mac enabled (the latter seems to be the most important part).
- Loading the image into a UIImage with the designated initializer and presenting it in a UIImageView produces the following console messages:

Working with more than a handful of images from the catalog makes the Xcode console output borderline unreadable because of these messages. The console doesn't have an option to filter out messages (and in general we consider it bad practice to ignore messages on the console).
Tested on Xcode 14.2 with macOS 13.2.
