Hi, I am writing this to WARN other developers about a problem that I have run into with Xcode 13.3 (13e113).
Ever since downloading this version, I have noticed that my apps have bloated in size. From 23mb to 55mb and above. After an investigation, I noticed that Xcode was duplicating project and other files. Such as [nameofproject] [nameofproject2], etc. Because of this, not only did my project get bloated, but when I try to delete some of the duplicate files (yes, I know what to delete and what NOT too) this would then allow Xcode to delete even MORE FILES each time I went into the project. There is nothing worse then going into a project that you've worked MONTHS on and seeing RED FILES inside the project (red files means not there).
So, I keep backups of all my apps. Restoring these backups cause the same problems.
This is a notice to all developers -> CHECK YOUR PROJECT FILES FROM THE FINDER so you don't experience this problem.
I would HOPE someone from Apple will see AND READ this and maybe even CONTACT ME so I can make DAMN sure this never happens again.
Thank you, Dan Uff
