TETRAEDGE: Syberia (Steam/macOS) crashes at launch

Description (last modified by )
ScummVM version: macosx-arm64-master-dd57ba3c
Steps to reproduce the issue:
- Install the game for macOS with Steam.
- Right click the game and select "display package contents"
- Navigate to Syberia.app/Contents/ and drag and drop the "Resources" folder on ScummVM's window to import it (the game is recognized as "Syberia (Extracted/Android)"
- Launch the game. After showing the Microïds and Koalabs logos, the game crashes with this error:
ERROR: No layout 'menu' in gui data 'menus/mainMenu/mainMenu.lua'!
Note: the file is actually located here:
Syberia.app/Contents/Resources/menus/mainMenu/PC-MacOSX/mainMenu.lua
Moving the file out of the "PC-MacOSX" folder actually gets the game to the main menu (until I click one of the menu entries and the issue occurs again for a different file)
Interrestingly, the windows version of the game isn't recognized at all by ScummVM (see attached files for the hierarchical list of files for both versions)

ah, my bad, I didn't use the right folder, Contents does work

If I recall correctly, this version should *not* be detected as "Syberia (Extracted/Android)", albeit it is possible to be (wrongly) detected as such.
You just have to point to the "contents" directory and not the "resources" one.
