By default I would like to set the Xcode scheme Option `GPU Frame Capture` to `disabled` when generating an Xcode project using CMake.

In the Xcode `.xcscheme` file the attribute is called `enableGPUFrameCaptureMode` and the value I need is `"3"` ie. using the UI to set this attribute to `disabled` then I get this output in the Xcode .xcscheme file

`enableGPUFrameCaptureMode = "3"`

I am using the existing XCODE\_SCEHEME properties to set specific scheme options ie.

```auto
set_target_properties(build-qrenderdoc PROPERTIES XCODE_SCHEME_DEBUG_DOCUMENT_VERSIONING OFF)
set_target_properties(build-qrenderdoc PROPERTIES XCODE_SCHEME_EXECUTABLE ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin/qrenderdoc.app)

```

I could not see a property relating to `GPU Frame Capture`

Thank you in advance

I am considering exploring adding this as an option to the Xcode generation to be able to specify the Xcode scheme launch action property “enableGPUFrameCaptureMode” (even in a local version of cmake). As this property is reset each time I generate a new Xcode project and its default value is incorrect for the project I am currently working on.
