No

Files in the target folder are deleted without a proper warning when building an iOS project

-

Reproduction steps:
1. Create a new project for the iOS platform
2. In Build Settings window (File > Build Settings…), select Build
3. In the opened navigation window, choose a folder that already has files
4. In the warning pop-up regarding version and different target device setting, select Replace

Expected result: A warning that all folder contents will be deleted is presented, or the Xcode project is built in a new folder in the chosen directory
Actual result: All files in the chosen folder are deleted

Reproducible with: 2021.3.53f1, 2022.1.0a1, 2022.3.63f1, 6000.0.51f1, 6000.1.9f1, 6000.2.0b7

Reproducible on: macOS Sequoia 15.5 (M1 Max)
Not reproducible on: Windows 11

Notes:
- On Windows 11, a warning is shown that all files and folders in the target folder will be deleted and the full path of the target folder is displayed
- If the Editor does not find the folder where the previous build was done, it defaults to “Documents” folder (on macOS), which could result in massive data loss if confirmed unattentively

    Currently working off a MacBook Pro 2019 that is using macOS 15.2(24C101).
    I am having the same issue where after attempting to an iOS build the build folder and all files within are deleted.

    The build folder and files appears up until the PostProcess Player phase. Upon which, the build folder and all within are deleted.
