Hi Mike

I would recommend to join our Discord, we can be really helpful there. 

As for the issue, have you ran tools/setup-macos.sh ? or its counterpart for brew?

Usually we do not use XCode for building (too many issues where their buildsystem intervenes in ours) but it can be done if everything is setup correctly.

I would recommend running it on the console with Ninja first though, before trying another XCode build

Generally speaking, MacOS is the default build system for a lot of core devs, so you should be fine. If you need any further help, feel free to let us know

I am working to build Wireshark in Xcode and have encountered the following error when running

cmake -G Xcode ..

Can someone point me the right direction?

MRT

CMake Error in epan/CMakeLists.txt:

  but none of these is a common dependency of the other(s).  This is not

  allowed by the Xcode "new build system".
