Xcode v12 does not have such problem and when you try to archive a framework Xcode prompt you to corresponding Archives window

Archive is an action from Scheme[About] which is competitor for Build action. Archive includes Build with additional logic. For example Archive is used for XCFramework[Example] which additionally can contains .dSYM and .BCSymbolMap files

For usual purposes you can just use Build action, it creates a corresponding .framework file in a Build location[About]
