Dear team,
I have been using ionic package build ios command for building my ionic ios app (with security profile). It was working fine till yesterday. Suddenly I started getting the error related to xcode
xcode-select: error: tool ‘xcodebuild’ requires Xcode, but active developer directory ‘/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools’ is a command line tools instance
Please help me to resolve the issue. I tried removing and adding the platform. But it is still not not working.
If you want to contact the team and report a problem, you best do this via normal support channels: http://ionicframework.com/support#support
What is your ionic info output?
I have the same error by typing ionic package.
Did you find a solution please ?

Apparently it’s just a matter of settings, just point to the actual folder where XCode is installed, for example:
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
Cheers
yes like @bettercaringdevelope says it’s seems to be an issue on xcode for ios?
not sure ?
Thank you , you saved my day…
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
its working for me …cheers…
Hello,
i have the same problem…
when i run ionic cordova build ios i see this…!!!
(node:28082) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): xcode-select: error: tool ‘xcodebuild’ requires Xcode, but active developer directory ‘/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools’ is a command line tools instance
(node:28082) DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.
what’is the problem please??..Thank you
Me too, my error:
(node:19049) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: xcode-select: error: tool ‘xcodebuild’ requires Xcode, but active developer directory ‘/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools’ is a command line tools instance
(node:19049) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection. This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). (rejection id: 1)

I’ve tried multiple versions of
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
but to no avail.
My issue was solved!
The problem was that I had never actually ever opened XCode! (New computer lol). It installed some components upon its first open, then I ran:
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
And it worked, yay
Worked for me. Thanks!
