Xcode Build Location
Xcode Build Location

I have a project that has several large dynamically linked libraries which are
located in the application bundle. Each linked library is a separate project.
The setting in Xcode > Preferences > Locations > Advanced > Build Location is
set to use Shared Folder > Build. Historically has worked well but now with
Xcode 11 there are some drawbacks. For example Clean Build Folder cleans the
entire shared build folder not just the target. Also archiving has never worked
and still does not work with this configuration.
So now I have changed the Xcode setting from Shared Folder to Unique which
apparently is the default.
When using the Unique setting a 28 character string is appended to the project
name in DerivedData. The string appears to be random characters but most likely
is not.
During build when linking to the dynamic libraries this 28 character string is
in the file path. So if it ever changes then linking will fail.
So my question is will this 28 character unique string always remain constant
for a given project?
Any insight would be appreciated.
