When I run something that requires command line developer tools (might be something as simple as man) I get a short timeout and some error messages before the command completes.

% man softwareupdate
2022-08-01 23:27:50.771 xcodebuild[1484:11020] 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

I am running macOS 12.5 and Xcode 13.4.1

This is a bug in Xcode. If you delete the app, the command line tools work without complaint.

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

Either a new xcodebuild is needed to not look for those two extensions in the plug in or the plug in needs them added.

I have not filed a feedback, but the delay is quite aggravating. When I need Xcode again, I will try removing the watch simulator and/or downloading it completely. Perhaps there’s a workaround I have missed or I didn’t type all the above commands correctly.
