same here, PlayCover doesn't detect my xcode-select at all even though it's there. Tried removing and reinstalling both PlayCover and XCode terminal tools but it just doesn't work

Can you check the output of $(xcode-select -p)/usr/bin/notarytool in the Terminal?

oh wow, this is embarrassing but I've managed to fix this...

tried to run PlayCover directly from terminal and got the xcode-select command not found error
noticed that PlayCover actually runs zsh before issuing the code
when I tried zsh command, it gave me multiple errors of not finding stuff (locale, direnv, etc)
then I checked my terminal rc files (~/.zprofile, ~/.zshenv, ~/.zshrc) and one of them was exporting PATH incorrectly (basically overriding the correct PATH)
fixing the PATH inside of ~/.zshenv did the trick for me :)

Weird. I don't think it should be depending on that.
