Check this error:

checking Xcode version... xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance
not found (too old?)

Incorrect application of command xcode-select -s /PATH/TO/XCODE/Contents/Developer as a potential cause. See also #69566 with identical failure but w/o the xcode-select error.
