If I remember correctly, you need to install Xcode from the App Store, open the Xcode app, and agree to the terms of service.

[iamkarlson]

Can you check that you have files in your bin folder in your root? It must be postInstall and setup, 2 files. It looks like that most of the time bin directory being ignored and they disappear on cleaning up your prj dir with git clean or similar (checkout can also cause it).

[bartolomej]

I apologize for the late response. I have installed XCode and aggreed to terms of service but still nothing changes. Also i have all the required files in directory MyApp/MyApp/bin (postInstall and setup).

[bartolomej]

It worked now when I ran:

 sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
 sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch

Sorry for the inconvenience.
