Please go into Terminal and do an ls -l@ on the build folder, and report the results. It should have the "com.apple.XcodeGenerated" extended attribute on it.

The original "build" folder itself (ls -ld@) did have the "com.apple.XcodeGenerated" attribute, as did the "<ProjectName>.build" folder within it. The "Release" folder within the "build" folder, however, did not (?).


It may also show up in your Time Machine "Exclude these items from backup" list.

No, it didn't.

There's a possibility that if the build folder was created when Time Machine was turned off

Yes, this is exactly what happened.

the "don't backup" state might have been dropped. Deleting the build folder and letting Xcode recreate it when Time Machine is turned on may fix this.

Done. The new (recreated) folders have the exact same extended attributes as the old ones, don't appear in Time Machine "excluded items" list, and telling Time Machine to "Back Up Now" causes them to be backed up, as before...
