How to set the active developer directory with 'Xcode-select' on Mac

[tomy]

Hi all,

Had to change from High Sierra to Mojave 10.14.4 and went for online installing Qt on it. Faced the error below. I've already installed Xcode 10.2.

What I found on the Web were related to old version of Mac/Xcode.
How to solve it please?

Hi, I also have Mojave 10.14.4 and I get those same error boxes (perhaps 10 of them) every time I install or update Qt using the online installer. But Qt seems to work fine on my Mac anyway :-)

@hskoglund

OK, then what should I do? Continuing with installation and skipping that error or installing Qt through an offline installer?

[hskoglund]

If you skip the errors, does your Qt installation work anyways?

@hskoglund
It wanted me to download and install the command line developer tool, and when I hit "install" it failed (Can't download software because of a network problem). I think it's because my App Store can't connect to the Internet!

Then I hit on "Get Xcode", and App Store showed this message: Cannot connect to App Store.

I don't know why my App Store can't connect! :( Maybe it's the source of the issue. :(

After these, the installer gives me the path to install Qt. So I think it's possible. But I worry about possible forthcoming problems due to the current problem, afterwards! :(

What's your suggestion please?

[hskoglund]

FIrst, quit Qt and Qt's installer and make sure you have a working Xcode. (When you install Xcode it asks "Do you want to install additional required components?". Always answer yes.)
Then connect your iPhone and compile a test program in Xcode, for example Master/Detail. See if you can run it that program on your iPhone from inside Xcode.

Once you have a working XCode then do the same in Qt. Compile a simple vanilla Qt widgets application with the iPhone as a target, hit Run and see if it starts on your iPhone.

If that last step works then I wouldn't worry too much, even if you get hit by those error boxes.

No, it doesn't show such a message. When I open it, only the following window is opened:

I manually downloaded the command line developer tools from the Apple website (as a standalone program) and then installed and set it up on Xcode successfully.
After these went for the Qt online installer file to start installing Qt. This time, it went through the processes without any error message and for the time being it's being downloaded/installed online. :)

The astonishing matter is that, my iPhone is connected to both iTunes and Xcode proper. But App Store still is not working! Hhhh

After installing Qt and opening a Qt project by it and connecting my iPhone to Mac, I see no problem in Xcode:

but still get the error below when Building or Running the project on Qt Creator using the iOS kit:

error: Xcodebuild failed.

Why, please? I had the same error on High Sierra but I wished I wouldn't face it again on Mojave either.

I suppose it's related to my account on developer.appale.com
I went to Enroll there but met the last stage wanting me to pay, although I'd chosen my Entity Type: Individual / Sole Proprietor / Single Person Business

For the time being that I don't want to publish my apps on App Store, I don't like to pay to Apple. Have I got to, even for the time being!?

For now I like to solve that error: Xcodebuild failed.

Isn't it related to this warning mark here?
No Provisioning profile found for the selected team

If so, how to solve this issue, please?

PS: I suppose both that warning mark and Xcode error belong to that reality that I haven't payed to Apple yet. Am I not right? (I hope so)

There should be something in the build log before this line

@tomy I think this is the pay wall, but I'm not 100% sure,

did you register your phone to your developer profile? That may be the other step missing

If I know that path rightly, I will check and post it here too.

Do you mean the application outputted window? If so, here it is:

I don't know what exactly you mean by that. Is it done on Xcode?
I think it's worth at least a try.

you can do it via Xcode but, I'm not sure where exactly
alternatively you can use this link
https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/device/

it should open your developer portal at the correct page, where you can add devices to your developer account. At least it did for me.

Here are the google coordinates, in case you don't trust the link (it's going to ask for a login)

• google: apple register device developer
• first search result

Where do you build your app and where do you get this error message ("error: Xcodebuild failed")?

[tomy]

@J-Hilk
Google hits also lead in the page you offered, and it's the outcome:

Access Unavailable
This resource is only for developers enrolled in a developer program or members of an organization’s team in a developer program.

And I beforehand talked about the developer program. The pay wall!

@jsulm, Yes, I got it from Qt Creator, because the project is indeed a Qt one not a Swift one.
In the prior post I wrote the message of the Output Window.
