Is it the current limitation that I cannot generate the documentation for my package that uses `UIKit`. While generating I get:

```swift
... error: no such module 'UIKit'
import UIKit

```

Same as when running `swift build` but in this case, I can pass options to properly build

```swift
swift build -Xswiftc "-sdk" -Xswiftc "`xcrun --sdk iphonesimulator --show-sdk-path`" -Xswiftc "-target" -Xswiftc "x86_64-apple-ios13.0-simulator"

```

I tried to pass the same params to generate documentation but it didn't help

```swift
swift package generate-documentation -Xswiftc "-sdk" -Xswiftc "`xcrun --sdk iphonesimulator --show-sdk-path`" -Xswiftc "-target" -Xswiftc "x86_64-apple-ios13.0-simulator"

```

Update:  
After changing the order of the build options the build completes but the documentation is not generated (from Xcode works though)

```swift
swift package -Xswiftc "-sdk" -Xswiftc "`xcrun --sdk iphonesimulator --show-sdk-path`" -Xswiftc "-target" -Xswiftc "x86_64-apple-ios15.3-simulator" --allow-writing-to-directory ./docs generate-documentation --target UIEnvironment
Building for debugging...
Build complete! (0.09s)
Generating documentation for 'UIEnvironment'...
Building for debugging...
Build complete! (0.07s)
error: 'UIEnvironment' does not contain any documentable symbols or a DocC catalog and will not produce documentation

```
