What is the problem? I have Visual Studio Code installed with the c/c++ plugin and it also installed some packages called “mono”.
Please Help!

Do you have XCode instalied? It looks like it can’t find the sdk directory for it.

Thanks, just noticed myself. Didn’t realize that Apple runs different.

Im having the same issue, its only been since I upgraded to sierra and Xcode8 so I think its an apple thing not UE4

Probably you had another version of “cli-xcode”. For example, if you try some developer stuff like homebrew or just “xcode-select --install” ,which installs little bit different SDK (more regular for compile command line apps).

Anyway try to install official Xcode first and run this command in terminal after:
$sudo xcode-select -r

Let me know if it helps

Can confirm that the sudo xcode-select -r was what fixed it for me.

yeah thank you very much it works with sudo xcode-select --reset
