Answer 1

sudo xcode-select --reset in the terminal instantly solved the problem for me.

Answer 2

I got this problem too, because I uninstalled my Xcode.

I solved it with these steps:

1. Type xcode-select --install in the terminal (Installs the license)

2. Download a git and re-install it

After this 2 steps, I can use git commands in the terminal like git or git --version.

But when I open the android studio, it still show the error

so we need another two steps:

3. Type which git in your terminal (find out the git path)

4. Configure the path (you got in the step 3) in your android studio , then apply

Just like below pic

It works for me.

Answer 3

You should agree explicitly to user's licence agreement.

This is how you should do it:

1. Open terminal
2. run the following command: sudo xcodebuild -license
3. agree to the terms.

That's it! :)

Answer 4

When I installed MacOS Sierra I ran xcode-select --install and it worked fine

Answer 5

I my case I've changed the name of Xcode app to Xcode9 and renamed later to Xcode.

After typing sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app on terminal everything worked fine again
