I dont unserstand why and this causes me some trouble, and because of this, I have lost previous builds which where important to me....
Is there any mean to have the XCode build folder included in the time machine backups ?
I find it very, very unlikely that you want to keep all the intermediates, the project index, etc. from the build folder and roll back to them over time. And the constant thrashing of TM to back these frequently-changing, ephemeral files interferes with development.
It may very well be that you want to snapshot your build products so you can go back and "see what that thing I built a while ago" does.
In that case you can just set the Build Products directory to a different place than the Intermediates directory, or build for Deployment to a specific Install Directory that won't be marked to avoid Time Machine backups.
I sincerely doubt that you want to place your built products under version control. I wouldn't go that route if I were you.
