I'm getting the error you see below:

    xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates
    Name@Name-MBP SignUpFlowFanclub % Software Update
    zsh: command not found: Software
    Name@Name-MBP SignUpFlowFanclub % 

This error is coming up as I try and install stripe CLI.

you need to update Xcode. You try softwareupdate --install -a,

if you have problem, use this: xcode-select --install.

I had a similar issue:

scntool: warning: Could not find bundle inside /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools at path /Library/Developer/SharedFrameworks/ModelIO.framework

Maybe Hebrew or something caused the issue - not sure

sudo xcode-select --reset 

did help

I recently updated to MacOS Big Sur version 11.2.3 and found that I had to manually install the Xcode SDK tools from the apple developer site: https://download.developer.apple.com/Developer_Tools/Command_Line_Tools_for_Xcode_12.4/Command_Line_Tools_for_Xcode_12.4.dmg in order to successfully install packages using MacPorts. But even after installing the Xcode_12.4 I still got the same warning messages: Warning: The macOS 11.2 SDK does not appear to be installed. Ports may not build correctly. Warning: You can install it as part of the Xcode Command Line Tools package by running `xcode-select --install'.

I am in the same boat as Greg W. You need an apple account to access the developer tools. I dont know what macports is but homebrew is having trouble updating because it cant find the xcode sdk. Pyenv specifically.
