I have a notarized Apple Silicon application running on macOS Tahoe 26.5.1, and in File Info's General section it reports 'Kind: Application (Apple Silicon)'. In its Info.plist, NSPrincipalClass is set to 'NSApplication'. Running lipo on each of the app's executables reports 'arm64'.

In the Software | Applications section of System Information, though, it is shown as 'Kind: iOS'.

Can anyone suggest why this might be? The application is not built using Xcode, rather it is built on the command-line using make etc.

Thanks for any advice!
