fix(docs): update Xcode Version Selection example #2451
Conversation
Before this change, the `xcode_version` variable was evaluated to the same value as the `xcode_build_number` variable. This change instead assigns the XCode version to the `xcode_version` variable.

Actually looks like xcode_build_number is unused in this snippet and from what I can tell we likely want to update it such that:
- remove usage of
xcode_version(e.g.15.1) - set
XCODE_VERSIONequal toxcode_build_number(e.g.15C65)

Ah good catch regarding the lack of use 👍

Sorry for the delay, but I looked at this now and noticed the following:
xcode_versionwith the above change will be equal to15.1. This isn't great because if you're using a beta version of Xcode (and possibly have multiple versions installed) it won't be deterministic. For someone it could pick beta 1 and for someone else it could pick beta 2.xcode_build_numberinstead gives the unique build number for an Xcode version (which changes between betas of the same version as well), such as15C65.
I think in this script we likely want to replace the usage of $xcode_version with $xcode_build_number instead (and of course remove xcode_version=(...) since it'll then be unused). I see that rules_xcodeproj (cc: @brentleyjones) also does something similar (where XCODE_PRODUCT_BUILD_VERSION looks like 15C65): https://github.com/MobileNativeFoundation/rules_xcodeproj/blob/9a6ec001d7ac96bb8474d95b0ecab909db9dab06/xcodeproj/internal/templates/bazel_build.sh#L86-L95
