Description

Usually it gets alphabetically, so Debug comes before Release
And "per user" configuration uses a folder with the user (macOS user) on it.
we can make it work using a function in the likes of string ofFilePath::getUserHomeDir() but only returning the username instead of the full path.
maybe using fs::path operations.

the file containing this configuration lives in a file like this

AeroFractal.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/z.xcuserdatad/UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate 

and "z" is my username

Research direction

Inspect the macOS project-generation logic and the per-user configuration path represented by AeroFractal.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/z.xcuserdatad/UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate. Verify how the default configuration is selected and how the username directory is derived, then confirm that generated projects use Release by default without relying on a literal user name.
