platformTargets
PlatformTargets is a concept used in software build configurations to enumerate the set of platforms a project is intended to run on. Each platformTarget describes a target platform in terms of operating system, architecture, runtime requirements, and packaging format. The collection enables cross-platform builds by allowing the build system to vary compiler flags, dependencies, and resources for each target.
In practice, platformTargets are defined in build configuration files or scripts. A target might specify attributes
Common uses include multi-platform libraries that must expose compatible APIs across targets, native executables that include
Host versus target: the host platform is where the build runs; the target platform is the intended
