When running the automated CI tests, a warning about 'kivy_ios.recipes.ios.src' is issued:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/lib/python3.12/site-packages/setuptools/command/build_py.py:207: _Warning: Package 'kivy_ios.recipes.ios.src' is absent from the `packages` configuration.
!!

        ********************************************************************************
        ############################
        # Package would be ignored #
        ############################
        Python recognizes 'kivy_ios.recipes.ios.src' as an importable package[^1],
        but it is absent from setuptools' `packages` configuration.

        This leads to an ambiguous overall configuration. If you want to distribute this
        package, please make sure that 'kivy_ios.recipes.ios.src' is explicitly added
        to the `packages` configuration field.

        Alternatively, you can also rely on setuptools' discovery methods
        (for example by using `find_namespace_packages(...)`/`find_namespace:`
        instead of `find_packages(...)`/`find:`).

        You can read more about "package discovery" on setuptools documentation page:

        - https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/package_discovery.html

        If you don't want 'kivy_ios.recipes.ios.src' to be distributed and are
        already explicitly excluding 'kivy_ios.recipes.ios.src' via
        `find_namespace_packages(...)/find_namespace` or `find_packages(...)/find`,
        you can try to use `exclude_package_data`, or `include-package-data=False` in
        combination with a more fine grained `package-data` configuration.

        You can read more about "package data files" on setuptools documentation page:

        - https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/datafiles.html


        [^1]: For Python, any directory (with suitable naming) can be imported,
              even if it does not contain any `.py` files.
              On the other hand, currently there is no concept of package data
              directory, all directories are treated like packages.
        ********************************************************************************

A similar warning for 'kivy_ios.tools.templates' is issued afterwards.

I take no position on whether these libraries should be explicitly included or explicitly excluded, but the ambiguity should be resolved.
