xcframework creation fails with poor error for incorrect deps / headers

[keith]

With this BUILD file:

load("@build_bazel_rules_apple//apple:apple.bzl", "apple_static_xcframework")

apple_static_xcframework(
    name = "foo",
    ios = {
        "simulator": ["x86_64"],
        "device": ["arm64"],
    },
    minimum_os_versions = {"ios": "15.0"},
    public_hdrs = ["no_header.h"],
    deps = ["no_target"],
)

Where no_target and no_header.h don't exist, if you bazel build foo you get this error:

error: /Applications/Xcode-13.2.1.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/libtool: no files specified

Target //:foo failed to build
Use --verbose_failures to see the command lines of failed build steps.

Ideally this would error earlier in bazel since this makes it look like something went wrong with the build, not the configuration.
