I get this error too. Tried everything. Ventura 13.1, Xcode 14.2 and commandline tools installed. Also tried all fixes mentioned here (xcrun, xcodebuild, etc). Keeps asking to install the tools

I'm on Xcode 14.2, I already open Xcode and was not prompted to accept any license. I actually use Xcode for development on a daily basis.

If I try to run xcode-select --install it tells me I already have the latest version.

And every time I try to open PlayCover (latest non-nightly release) it tells me I need to install Xcode Tools.
