Xcode must be fully installed before you can continue. Continue to the App Store?

Are you using Xcodes.app and Expo and seeing this error when trying to run the app in the simulator?

› Opening on iOS...
✔ Xcode must be fully installed before you can continue. Continue to the App Store? … yes
Going to the App Store, re-run Expo CLI when Xcode has finished installing.

The problem is that Xcodes installs apps with a version like: Xcode-15.2.0.app. Where the App Store installs it like: Xcode.app

All you need to do is let it know when you Xcode is with the following command:

sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode-15.2.0.app/Contents/Developer
