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 exist, use xcode-select --switch path/to/Xcode.app to specify the Xcode that you wish to use for command line developer tools (or see man xcode-select)
I can type xcode-select and it shows that the command exists. When I type xcode-select -p
it shows:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
but when I do which xcode-select
, it gives me:
/usr/bin/xcode-select
I've tried to use the command switch and install again via Apple Developer site but none of these options have work so far... How can I fix this?
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
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).
For more details please see the attached image. Hope it helps.

sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
(needs to be run as root)
In my case, I had uninstalled Xcode and then issues with git cli started. I solved the problem running the following commands:
$ sudo xcode-select -r
$ sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
and then validating new path with:
$ sudo xcode-select -p
Hope this helps!
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 /
This error coming because xcode get deleted, corrupt or moved. In my case i removed xcode from my Mac and faced the same issue.
I fixed it by simple two steps
Open Terminal Simply run following command
sudo xcode-select -r
And now error has resolved. Hope it will helpful.
Use this:
sudo xcode-select -switch /
This should solve the problem.
How about what the error suggests? Did you try that?
xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app
That should do the trick.
--switch
must be run as root
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
Try error suggestion :
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app
And Then test Git Executable Path.

In my case such error occurred after I has tried to symbolicate crash report, and according to a manual, entered command export DEVELOPER_DIR=”/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer”
I tried some proposed here solutions but nothing helped.
Then I realized that I have added an environment variable DEVELOPER_DIR
to my terminal and this led to error: "xcrun: error: missing DEVELOPER_DIR path:"
Then I've just reboot my terminal, that cleaned the environment variable and the error disappeared.
(FYI: environment variables may be checked with printenv
command in terminal)
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
Success story sharing
--reset
works well for me. I need only the xcode cli for php development. So I decided to remove the complete xcode from my mac, then I downloaded only the xcode CLI installer(about 170MB). After I upgrade the installed xcode CLI viaapp store
, and appliedsudo xcode-select --reset
, I am able to usebrew
and other command line tools such asgit
like before. Thanks.
