I need to execute the following shell script in my macOS terminal.
The loop never executes more than its first iteration.
function execute_function() tr -dc A-Z0-9
When I run it, I always get:
execute_function 10
Launching 10 jobs
Launching Job: XX9BWC
1..10
The same happens if I replace: $1 with $number_of_jobs or "$number_of_jobs"

Your script is written for zsh but you are executing it with bash.
bash does not support using variables as ranges in brace-expansions.
To resolve this, simply arrange for the script or function be executed in a zsh shell (especially if the script is longer than what you are showing and is using other zsh features). This shell is installed by default on macOS as /bin/zsh. You may add #!/bin/zsh as the first line in the script to have it execute with zsh by default.
