Unusual errors in xcodebuild

I am getting the following errors when running xcodebuild from the command line:

xcodebuild[22187:279813] Requested but did not find extension point with identifier Xcode.IDEKit.ExtensionSentinelHostApplications for extension Xcode.DebuggerFoundation.AppExtensionHosts.watchOS of plug-in com.apple.dt.IDEWatchSupportCore

xcodebuild[22187:279813] Requested but did not find extension point with identifier Xcode.IDEKit.ExtensionPointIdentifierToBundleIdentifier for extension Xcode.DebuggerFoundation.AppExtensionToBundleIdentifierMap.watchOS of plug-in com.apple.dt.IDEWatchSupportCore

What does this mean, and how do I fix it?

I was getting the same error when I read the error below these line I find the actual issue and the problem was solved. in my case I was building flutter app from command line.

I have the same message since I have updated to Xcode 13.3. On my Macbook and on the CI as well. But it's not a real error, more like an info/warning that does not block building and running a project. But curious about the why though.

After installing Xcode 13.3, start up Xcode and it should ask you for permission to install extra components, go ahead and do that. Once done, the errors on the CLI should go away, they did for me.

I have the same issue I have tried all the possible solutions but not use can any one please help on this issue

I have two computers, one personal and one company. The company one never works right because they have it jacked up with security. So, on the company computer, I just logged into Apple Developer and manually downloaded the Command Line Tools for xCode 13.3 (701.86 MB). I am not seeing that error on the command line now.

Having the same issue, and seems more current with 13.3. Had to downgrade to 13.2.1 till this is fixed.

I am no longer getting that error. I downloaded the most recent version of xCode 13.3.1 and the command line developer tools and installed those manually. It worked on both my work computer Macbook Pro (2017) and my personal computer Macbook Pro (2019).

In my case, the following command has resolved the issue:

softwareupdate --install

Carl-Olsen: I installed XCOde 13.3.1, and have Monterey 13.3.1 installed. I downloaded the command line developer tools and used the Apple Installer provided to install it. Having the same problem.

You say you installed the command line developer tools manually. What did you do, to do that? That is something extra from just using the Apple Installer?

None of the suggestions made here have resolved the problem for me (nor for some others, as noted above).
You don't even have to build anything to get this to happen:

% xcodebuild --help

This with Xcode 13.3.1 and CommandLineTools installed (both by request then, again, manually).
Note, while --help causes trouble --usage does not:

% xcodebuild --usage

Like others I was getting no prompt for updating the CLI tools.

Running softwareupdate --install did not work for me.

SOLUTION (for me):

I had to first find the software update manually:

softwareupdate --list

This provided me with the following output:

Finding available software
Software Update found the following new or updated software:
* Label: Command Line Tools for Xcode-13.3
	Title: Command Line Tools for Xcode, Version: 13.3, Size: 718145KiB, Recommended: YES, 

I then ran:

softwareupdate -i "Command Line Tools for Xcode-13.3"

(NOTE: You pass the "Label:" output as the string as yours could be different.

any update? I still have the same issue

This worked for me:

Remove CommandLineTools

sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

Reinstall CommandLineTools

xcode-select --install

Select CommandLineTools

sudo xcode-select -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

Hi,

I also have this problem recently, appeared suddenly, on Xcode 13.3.1 and Monterey 12.3.1. This issue prevents me from building an iOS app with watchOS companion, but not an iOS app alone. When I build I get this error:

error: WatchKit App doesn't contain any WatchKit Extensions. Verify that the value of NSExtensionPointIdentifier in your WatchKit Extension's Info.plist is set to com.apple.watchkit.

Unfortunately, I have tried all the solutions above, without success.
