Even if you do xcode-select --install it was not fixing that for me as it showed some network error  The problem was that it could not connect to the app store  I did the following to fix it    Open keystore Go to system root and select certificates  Open digicert high assurance EV  Expand the trust section  mark it as never trust  Restart system now repeat step 1  2  3  and mark the trust policy as back to use system defaults    Your app store should work now and you should be able to run xcode-select --install
