+XCODE_LINK_BUILD_PHASE_MODE
+---------------------------
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.19
+
+When using the :generator:`Xcode` generator, libraries to be linked will be
+specified in the Xcode project file using either the "Link Binary With
+Libraries" build phase or directly as linker flags. The former allows Xcode
+to manage build paths, which may be necessary when creating Xcode archives
+because it may use different build paths to a regular build.
+
+This property controls usage of "Link Binary With Libraries" build phase for
+a target that is an app bundle, executable, shared library, shared framework
+or a module library.
+
+Possible values are:
+
+* ``NONE``
+ The libraries will be linked by specifying the linker flags directly.
+
+* ``BUILT_ONLY``
+ The "Link Binary With Libraries" build phase will be used to link to another
+ target under the following conditions:
+
+ - The target to be linked to is a regular non-imported, non-interface library
+ target.
+ - The output directory of the target being built has not been changed from
+ its default (see :prop_tgt:`RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY` and
+ :prop_tgt:`LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY`).
+
+* ``KNOWN_LOCATION``
+ The "Link Binary With Libraries" build phase will be used to link to another
+ target under the same conditions as with ``BUILT_ONLY`` and also:
+
+ - Imported library targets except those of type ``UNKNOWN``.
+ - Any non-target library specified directly with a path.
+
+For all other cases, the libraries will be linked by specifying the linker
+flags directly.
+
+.. warning::
+ Libraries linked using "Link Binary With Libraries" are linked after the
+ ones linked through regular linker flags. This order should be taken into
+ account when different static libraries contain symbols with the same name,
+ as the former ones will take precedence over the latter.
+
+.. warning::
+ If two or more directories contain libraries with identical file names and
+ some libraries are linked from those directories, the library search path
+ lookup will end up linking libraries from the first directory. This is a
+ known limitation of Xcode.
+
+This property is initialized by the value of the
+:variable:`CMAKE_XCODE_LINK_BUILD_PHASE_MODE` variable if it is set when a
+target is created.
