XCode dependency for Mac OS VMs

(This falls under the 'missing documentation' category in General Support on the Licensing and Support page)

I've been trying to get setup with a Mac OS VM on my M4 Mac Mini. This is the sequence of commands I was running:

tart create --from-ipsw=latest baseline-macos tart clone baseline-macos llm-dev-env tart run llm-dev-env

This would just hang - no VM window was ever started. I ran logging as indicated which I unfortunately can't provide directly - I was just streaming to the terminal directly. But I saw two errors I pursued:

• "LSExceptions shared instance invalidated for timeout"
• "AddInstanceForFactory: No factory registered for id"

Ultimately this led me to do a full install of XCode (I had a partial install of the cli tools) and that seems to have resolved the issue. But I was not able to find a dependency on XCode in your documentation.

My Mac relevant details:

• Mac Mini M4 Apple chip
• 32 GB Ram
• Mac OS: Sequoia 15.7.7 (24G720)
• 0.5 TB internal disk, 2 TB external disk (hosting the vm images)

I figured out the cli vs full xcode issue - I had installed brew and it requires (and provides details for) the xcode cli tools
