Identify when XCode command line tools are missing, but XCode is installed
Hi,

Following the Hello World tutorial I got the error "Xcode is not installed." when trying to build the iOS version of the Hello World App. The problem turned out to be that Xcode does not by default install the command line tools and you have to go to Preferences -> Locations -> Command Line Tools and select the tools (in my case "Xcode 11.3.1").

Probably an idea to add this to the tutorial.

Keep up the good work,

 -- Howard.
