Research direction
Open reference/tools/apple/xcodedeps.rst around lines 50-53 and read how the layout option affects XCodeDeps output. Clarify the relationship between generic_layout, the deps/tools setup, and the generated conandeps.xcconfig files for each build type and architecture. Done means the documentation explains why a multi-config or per-configuration layout is produced.

Description
In configuring the MacOS XCode build, for some reason I had chosen to set/change the layout to a generic_layout.
I've only just come to understand that this was changing the management of XCodeDeps config forcing the xcconfig generation into different folders so that it was not preparing a multi config a described
Looking at the XCodeDeps doc, it was not clear at this point why the generate one single file (*conandeps.xcconfig*) aggregating all the files for the direct dependencies was not creating the single file instead creating 1 in each build_type and arch.
It may be helpful to others to understand this link between layout and the deps/tools setup
