I had the same issue and couldn t use SVN after the update   Just in case if doing  xcode-select --install didn t fix the issue   You might see      svn  error  The subversion command line tools are no longer provided by Xcode    Refer   https   developer apple com documentation macos release notes macos catalina 10 15 release notes  Try installing the svn by brew  brew install svn   This should get you going

After upgrade to Mac Catalina I faced the same issue  I had to run couple of commands to get this fixed    First started with    xcode-select --install   It didn t fix the problem  had to run the following in sudo   sudo xcode-select --reset   Then  finally got fixed after I switched and set the path explicitly for active developer directory    sudo xcode-select -s  Library Developer CommandLineTools  Note  In case you have Xcode installed  you may need to specify Xcode directory in this case  it should be something like this  xcode-select -s  Applications Xcode app

If for any chance you don t have to Xcode or had to delete it  e g  in a situation when you needed to free up disc space in order to perform update simply install Xcode from the App Store  Once it ll be done and when you ll be launching this for the first time Xcode will ask you if you d like to install components  click Install and it ll fix the issue as well

The problem is that Xcode Command-line Tools needs to be updated  Solution  1 Go back to your terminal and enter  xcode-select --install  You ll then receive the following output  xcode-select  note  install requested for command line developer tools  You will then be prompted in a window to update Xcode Command Line tools   which may take a while  Open a new terminal window and your development tools should be returned  Addition  With any major or semi-major update you ll need to update the command line tools in order to get them functioning properly again  Check Xcode with any update  This goes beyond Mojave    After that restart your terminal Alternatively  IF that fails  and it very well might     you ll get a pop-up box saying  quot Software not found on server quot   see below  Solution  2 and you hit xcode-select --install and it doesn t find the software  log into Apple Developer  and install it via webpage  Login or sign up here  https   developer apple com download more  Look for   quot Command Line Tools for Xcode 12 x quot  in the list of downloads Then click the dmg and download
