I want to set a flag in my project so that I can build to devices as well as have XCode cloud properly manage the build number.
Currently when I build my project with ${CI_BUILD_NUMBER} OR ${XCODE_CLOUD_BUILD_NUMBER}
Apple manages to the several long-winded doc sections fail to mention what you actually put in Xcode build field to get Xcode cloud to work in any kind of production-ready way.
Digging around I was able to find the variables in the reference, the XCODE_CLOUD_BUILD_NUMBER work but seems to somehow be completely undocumented: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/environment-variable-reference
When I build my project using these flag and Xcode cloud the builds work as expected. When I build locally the build number is never set and causes an error that shows up in one of the final steps of installation.
I get the error shown below*.
My question is: how can I use the CI_BUILD_NUMBER or XCODE_CLOUD_BUILD_NUMBER flags while still retaining installation ability locally (without changing the flag each time).

System Information
macOS Version 13.0.1 (Build 22A400)
Xcode 14.3 (21812) (Build 14E222b)
Timestamp: 2023-04-18T20:21:25-07:00`
Tried setting build number in my iOS project to the following:
- ${CI_BUILD_NUMBER}
- ${XCODE_CLOUD_BUILD_NUMBER}
- ${CI_BUILD_NUMBER:1}
- ${XCODE_CLOUD_BUILD_NUMBER:1}
I expected the flag to default to a value on local builds or at allow a fallback (examples 3 or 4) if the flag wasn't set by Xcode cloud.
