Failed to extract git version from git --version. Instead I see:
xcrun: error: active developer path ("/Users/mcbook/Downloads/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer") does not exist
Use `sudo xcode-select --switch path/to/Xcode.app` to specify the Xcode that you wish to use for command line developer tools, or use `xcode-select --install` to install the standalone command line developer tools.
See `man xcode-select` for more details.
Like all macOS apps, the Xcode app is represented in the file system as a folder, even though in Finder we see it as an icon.
In Xcode’s case its main app folder contains subdirectories that include some command line development tools that are necessary when installing apps that need to be compiled.
When you first run Xcode, it registers the location of this subfolder for you. Unfortunately, it looks like you first ran Xcode when it was still sitting in your Downloads folder, and so all your command line tools are still looking for it there.
I’m assuming that in the mean time you’ve moved Xcode – which, as you’d expect, moves all the application folder’s files and subfolders as well – to your /Applications folder.
You should be able to redirect all your tools to look in the new, correct location by using the following command line command:
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
I've installed Xcode on a mac and when I try to start it I get a little window open saying 'Verifying Xcode' with a status bar scrolling across, anyone got a fix rather than reinstalling?
If you don't want to wait forever, this might help:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine '/Applications/Xcode.app'
Running a command to get through Gatekeeper sounds like the way to go, since you downloaded it from a trusted source. This is a common occurrence when installing large bundles in Mac OS X. Basically, Gatekeeper examines your entire bundle, making sure that there is no suspicious code. This is one of the many things that keeps Mac OS X as secure as it is. You have two options:
1: Give it time.
Or,
2: Manually tell Gatekeeper "It's okay, this is from a trusted source". How do we do this? Well, first fire up the Terminal and navigate to your Xcode.app folder. (Or type in cd and drag-and-drop Xcode from your applications folder), then hit enter.
Next, run the command:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine Xcode.app
Now, be careful getting past Gatekeeper if whatever you are installing is even slightly from an untrusted source, or else you introduce a security risk to your computer. In my case, opening new versions of Xcode quickly is the only time I will ever run that command.
anyone got a fix rather than me reinstalling?
For anyone else seeing a very long "Verifying Xcode" phase, just give it time. The indeterminate progress bar stays up there for a long time (tens of minutes) while Gatekeeper looks at the (very large) Xcode bundle to make sure that it's legit. Eventually, you'll get the familiar message along the lines of "This application was downloaded from the Internet. Do you want to continue?" Or, if the bundle doesn't check out, you'll of course get a message to that effect.
Almost every answer here recommends running xattr -d on the file. This deletes the file's extended attributes (like com.apple.quarantine) so OSX will not run the verification phase. You should only do this as an absolute last resort if at all. Apple explicitly recommends leaving Gatekeeper enabled to validate your version of Xcode after XcodeGhost malware was spread to popular iOS apps via infected versions of Xcode.
If you're stuck trying unarchive an Xcode beta .xip archive, try this:
Open the Archive Utility app. (Open Finder by hitting ⌘+spacebar and type "Archive Utility")
Choose File->Expand Archive and select the Xcode archive.
I had same issue. Quick fix is to open terminal from application or type terminal in spotlight and enter below command.
cd /Applications - This will move to applications directory where Xcode is present
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine Xcode.app - This will bypass Gatekeeper in OS X and will launch Xcode quickly
Note: If you have changed name of Xcode (say Xcode7-1) then you should enter ... Xcode7-1.app command. Refer screenshot
open terminal -
1.Type cd drag drop your xcode (for path) then enter
2.next xattr -d com.apple.quarantine Xcode.app enter
agree for terms and condition
For Xcode 8:
To skip the verifying process on El Capitan for Xcode 8, download Xcode 8 at the developer downloads page, then open terminal.
Following this, type
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine
Then drag your xcode 8 download into your terminal window.
It should look like this:
A lot of talk here about exempting Xcode-beta.app from Gatekeeper, but for me, I had to make the .xip file exempt.
I placed Xcode_8_beta_6.xip into /Applications, then in Terminal, changed directory to /Applications and ran:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine Xcode_8_beta_6.xip
Then double clicked the .xip to get it to unpack.
running xattr -d com.apple.quarantine Xcode.app worked like a charm. Waiting on the "verifying xcode" didn't work, as it never completed.
Also you can remove Open Warning for entire directory Applications via the command in the terminal:
xattr -d -r com.apple.quarantine ~/Applications
it's work for me:
open Terminal cd to path Xcode.app
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine Xcode.app
You can try the command:
xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /your_path_to_xcode/Xcode.app
If you do not use -r, you will have to run the same command for the iOS simulator later on. I am not sure what other executables are hidden in this bundle and are quarantined.
If you have time, the recommended method is to leave the verification to complete so that everything is verified properly.
I had the same issue (Macbook Pro, Mid 2015, OS X 10.11.15) and was able to fix it without using the terminal to bypass Gatekeeper:
Trash all previously downloaded versions of the file and empty the trash. (If you haven't emptied your trash in forever this may take a long time. You can selectively delete the offending .xip files manually to save time.) I found multiple instances that would not delete because they were currently in use.
Restart your computer. Now you should be able to delete any .xip files in the trash without issue.
Download the Xcode8 beta again (don't stream media while doing this to save on time and packet loss.) and open it.
If this doesn't do the trick, open up terminal and follow one of the answers above.
Run the following command making sure this is your Xcode's location on the system & replace the xcode name with actual name which code be xcode2 or Xcode 3 incase if you have more versions of Xcode on your machine..
All the best ..
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine Xcode.app
Just wait for process to get over with.. sometimes it takes longer than the usual time but ends up showing the alert boxes for next process! sit back let it finish. :)
If you are not logged in to Xcode try logging in with any Apple account.
I want to debug some network bug with my application ,I found a way to create rvi to trace, But I even can't finish step 1 :
rvictl -s
-bash : rvictl: command not found
what should I do ?
I follow the site:

help! thanks
Mavericks and beyond: You need to install XCode from the App Store, and then you need to launch XCode once, and accept installation of additional tools. Restart your terminal. Good to go.
I found the solution here.
In summary, the link above explains that the issue may stem from installing Xcode without installing the additional components.
Check rvictl is installed by looking for the /usr/bin/rvictl folder. If it does not exist, then rvictl is not installed. To install the packages, open your application folder through finder, right click on the Xcode app, and follow the path below to find the items which need to be installed manually:
Xcode.app/Contents/Resources/Packages/MobileDevice.pkg
Xcode.app/Contents/Resources/Packages/MobileDeviceDevelopment.pkg
Restart your terminal and.... Voila !! it should work now.
CATALINA UPDATE.
Based #KarthicRaghupathi's comments. the rvictl location was changed in Catalina. The rvictl file is now located at /Library/Apple/usr/bin.
The rest of the process stays the same as above.
I'm using macOS Catalina and Xcode 11, Could able to find rvictl file in /Library/Apple/usr/bin. but still got the same error
-bash : rvictl: command not found
Tried all provided solution nothing worked for me. Adding sudo saved me,
sudo rvictl -s [DEVICE UDID]
[or]
sudo /Library/Apple/usr/bin/rvictl -s [DEVICE UDID]
This may help some one.
You need to install the Command Line Tools for Xcode, available here:
https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?name=for%20Xcode%20-#
That includes the rvictl program.
It seems like default location and installed location of rvictl on Catalina are different.
rvictl should be installed by Xcode. Look for it at path: /Library/Apple/usr/bin/rvictl. The default shell has /Library/Apple/usr/bin/ in its path, either customise it or provide full qualified path i.e
/Library/Apple/usr/bin/rvictl -s 00008020-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Source: https://forums.developer.apple.com/message/392193#392193
When you say: the command line tools for 10.10 apparently do not include the rvictl program - I get the error message: command not found
You need to see the comment above: Mavericks and beyond: You need to install XCode from the App Store, and then you need to launch XCode once, and accept installation of additional tools. Restart your terminal.
It will then appear.
I ran the symbolication process from the command line on the Mac-Terminal and it works fine. I am trying to push the same script on to the UNIX server which fails to run, since its trying to refer the Xcode.app which is not present on to the server.
Getting the following error on server :
xcode-select: Error: No Xcode is selected. Use xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app to select /Applications/Xcode.app, or see the xcode-select manpage (man xcode-select) for further information.
Obvious answer could be that I move the Xcode.app on the unix server, and it will work. But in the production scenarios this is not a viable solution. I want to have a solution that works without refering the Xcode.app. Can someone help.
I'm stumped on how to get symbols for a .crash file out of xcode.
I have the .crash file, the .app file, the .ipa file and the .dSYM file. I drag the crash log into the xcode organizer and I see the crash log with symbols for system calls, but no symbols for my app.
The .app/.ipa was built by our build machine, so it was not archived via xcode.
I tried placing all three files (well, two are actually directories but look like files to the Mac) in the same folder and nothing. I tried running symbolicatecrash from the command line while in that directory and I get this error:
Error: "DEVELOPER_DIR" is not defined at /Applications/Xcode.app/[snip]Resources/symbolicatecrash line 53.
I tried setting DEVELOPER_DIR to /Applications/Xcode.app and it gets further, but now I see a slew of errors that read:
sh: /Applications/Xcode.app/usr/bin/xcrun: No such file or directory
I'm stumped. You'd think this would be easier given all 4 needed files are in same directory.
I am running xcode 4.4, but was experiencing the same issues last night with 4.3. I was hope upgrading would help.
Make sure you set the right DEVELOPER_DIR:
export DEVELOPER_DIR="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer"
Xcode is written with capital X. Tested on Mountain Lion (10.8).
First set correct Xcode location:
sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/
I set this variable and got it working.
export DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode.app
Then and I ran the symbolicatecrash in this directory:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DTDeviceKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources
(Sorry my answer was written before properly reading your question).
Use xcode-select to set the correct location of your Xcode install. More precisely:
$ sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
