Xcode 10 - Clean (missing) vs Clean Build Folder

Has anyone else noticed that Xcode 10 only allows you to Product menu > Clean Build Folder, regardless of whether you hold the alt/option key or not?


I didn't install the Xcode 10 betas so I don't know if this is normal.


Xcode 9.4.1 and earlier shows "Clean", not "Clean Build Folder", if you don't hold the alt key.


Thanks

They removed just 'clean' (because new build system), then they re-enabled it, then removed it again by default, which is where we are at the moment. Xcode Beta release notes used to talk about it going away.... See: Re: Xcode build and clean fails without errors


Bottom line is that a simple clean was rarely worth the effort, where an option-clean build folder would bring home the bacon. Even if 'Clean' returns, regardless of build system, I'd still not be using it. RIP 'clean'.

The "clean build folder" option is the only one available for the new build system. The legacy build system still has both options. Xcode 10 uses the new build system by default.
