Summary
When attempting to deploy a Custom App with profileActionOverrides that reference newly created profiles and including both in a deployment may results in the App component throwing the error:

"invalid cross reference id"

When deploying CustomApplication is saved before Profile, so when the CustomApplication is saved, the Ids for the profiles which are newly added in the deployment are not yet available.

If the CustomApplication has ProfileActionOverride, it tries to get profileId but since the profile is not available if it is new, the reference to the profileId becomes null resulting in the "invalid cross reference id" error.

Repro
In Source Org:
1. Create a record type for Account (AccountRT1)
2. Create Record Lightning Page for Account (AccountLightningPage) and save it (just save, do not activate at this moment)
3. Create change set (ChangeSet01), add AccountRT1 and AccountLightningPage, upload it

In Target Org:
4. Deploy ChangeSet01

In Source Org:
5. Enable lightning and switch to lightning UI
6. Create a profile (TestProfile) cloned from StandardUser profile
7. Create a Lightning App (TestApp)
8. Go to AccountLightningPage, activate it, select APP, RECORD TYPE, AND PROFILE tab, assign TestApp, AccountRT1, TestProfile and save it
9. Create change set (ChangeSet02), add TestApp, TestApp_UtilityBar (Lightning Page) and TestProfile, upload it

In Target Org:
10. Enable lightning and switch to Lightning UI
11. Deploy ChangeSet02

Actual Results: The validation failed with the error "invalid cross reference id"

Expected Results: The deployment would be successful without the error.

Workaround
- Create the profiles referenced by the App's profileActionOverrides in the target org before deploying the App.

- Remove the App from the deployment, create it in the target environment and then deploy other components.
