XCFramework issue, A library with the identifier "ios-armv7_arm64" already exists

Question

While creating XCFramework, I'm getting the below-mentioned message on the terminal and xcframework is not getting generated A library with the identifier "ios-armv7_arm64" already exists.

This is the command that I'm running

xcodebuild -create-xcframework \
-framework ./archives/My-iOS.xcarchive/Products/Library/Frameworks/My.framework \
-framework ./archives/My-iOS-Simulator.xcarchive/Products/Library/Frameworks/My.framework \
-output My.xcframework

Is there anything that I'm missing?
