Summary:                    Ninja generator doesn't handle multiple Mac apps
using the same plist file with MACOSX_BUNDLE_INFO_PLIST
Description: 
If an app is using the same plist file using the target property
MACOSX_BUNDLE_INFO_PLIST, CMake will add a dependency on that plist file as it
is a template with variables that needs processing at generation time.

But if multiple apps are using the same plist template, CMake will add multiple
dependencies to the same file on the Re-Run target and Ninja will then warn:
ninja: warning: multiple rules generate ../Info.plist.in. builds involving this
target will not be correct; continuing anyway [-w dupbuild=warn]

A fix would probably be to deduplicate the dependencies for rerunning CMake.
