xcrun: error: active developer path (“/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer”) does not exist

Question

I\'m having xcode issues when I try to use brew and git:

xcrun: error: active developer path (\"/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer\") does not

Answer 1

For me it helps to install Xcode CLI xcode-select --install after uninstalling XCode (I don't develop for the OSx or iOS)

Then I could successfully build downloaded source with make

Answer 2

Try error suggestion :

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app

And Then test Git Executable Path.

Answer 3

I had the same problem and had to remove completely Developer tools, and reinstall:

$ rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
$ xcode-select --install

Tip: because Xcode had been improperly uninstalled, I had to manually (re)move the Xcode app, too:

$ mv /Applications/Xcode.app/ /Applications/Xcode.app.bak

Answer 4

Mostly this error occurs when you have installed a newer version of xcode. And the command line tools are yet to be initialized.

To resolve this: Go under Xcode Preferences > Locations (tab) > And the bottom options is Command Line Tools. Please select the Xcode version for tools.

Example (For Xcode 10.0 (10A255) ): Go under Xcode Preferences > Locations (tab) > And the bottom options is Command Line Tools. Select Xcode 10.0 (10A255).

Answer 5

I have faced the same issue as I have uninstalled the XCode abruptly, running the below command (from Terminal) helped me to resolve this.

sudo xcode-select -switch /

Answer 6

I tried that and it didn't work but I found the answer. I just had to reset the developer's path:

$ sudo xcode-select --reset

Now everything is normal
