Why? I just have the run script build phase just put (create?) the file
where I want it to be and skip the extra step.

Have the run script build phase just create the new file where it goes.

Put (create) it where it belongs in the first place and skip the extra step.

There are several environmental variables that can be used to build the path
to where you want to put the file:

BUILD_DIR, BUILD_ROOT, BUILD_STYLE, BUILD_VARIANTS, BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR,
CONFIGURATION, CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR, CONFIGURATION_TEMP_DIR

Just use the right path from the get go and skip the copy phase.

It's not necessary; go directly to the destination; do not pass go; do not
collect $200... ;-)
