What happened

The GCSToGCSOperator is throwing an error when trying to pass task output into the source_objects field.

 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/airflow/providers/google/cloud/transfers/gcs_to_gcs.py", line 211, in __init__
    if source_objects and any(WILDCARD in obj for obj in source_objects):
                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/airflow/models/xcom_arg.py", line 268, in __iter__
    raise TypeError("'XComArg' object is not iterable")

What you think should happen instead

This operator should be able to handle xcom, and we have no issue using the GCSToBigQueryOperator in the same way

How to reproduce

@task
def return_files():
    files = ['a','b','c','d']
    return files

files = return_files()

 extract_files = GCSToGCSOperator(
        task_id="fetch_data",
        source_bucket="source_bucket_name",
        source_objects=files,
        destination_bucket="dest_bucket_name",
        destination_object="foo",
        dag=dag,
    )

files >> extract_files
