In Terminal, try this.

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

/Applications/Xcode.app is your Xcode.app path.

if U still get error in terminal.

try sudo xcodebuild -license to agree license.

Got similar issue on executing command

./Scripts/bootstrap.sh -d.

Solution 5 - Ios

I had the same problem. My application was working well but suddenly in next run, it started throwing the "simctl" error. It seems I had started Xcode update installation in the background.

Fix: I just started the Xcode application and it prompted to install some pending tools update. After Xcode updates, my app started working normally.

Solution 6 - Ios

While running Xcode, open the Xcode menu, go to Preferences…, then select Locations

In Locations, "Command Line Tools", choose your version of Xcode.

It should be fine. This worked for me.

Solution 7 - Ios

Choose Xcode Preferences then choose Locations tab and inside go to command line tools Drop down box and choose one.

Problem sovled !

FYI: I tried this with Xcode 12.3

Solution 8 - Ios

If you are interested in command line "approach", please try: installer -pkg /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Resources/Packages/XcodeSystemResources.pkg -target /. In addition, please make sure that xcode-select -s selected right Xcode installation path.
