Xcode still has this preference: it lives on the Locations tab.

If you want, you can try removing the “don’t backup” xattr from the build directory, but if you ever nuke and rebuild it the setting will be back and you’ll silently lose backups.

I recommend adding a build phase that copies your archives out to a directory entirely under your control.
