You can archive the app and have a copy that stored locally on your computer.

In the menu bar, go to Product > Archive
In the Archives window that opens, select the version you want and click Distribute App
Select Copy App as the distribution method
Choose a name and location then click Export
Open the folder that you just created and double-click the app file inside to run it

Not too helpful - if you do not explicitly see "Distribute App" you do not have an App and it's an issue with settings. In 2024 Xcode has different settings than 2 years ago and various support pages are not updated. We need a 2024 what is required to see "Distribute App".
