Change active Developer Path for Xcode

This question was asked before, but unresolved here.

I have tried the solution here, but it doesn't solve the issue.

I get this error:

xcrun: error: active developer path ("/Applications/Xcode 2.app/Contents/Developer") does not exist, use xcode-select to change

The active developer path should NOT say "Xcode 2.app", but instead "Xcode.app".

My question is: How can I change the active path to say "Xcode.app"?

I already tried the following:

$> xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
$> xcode-select -print-path 
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

I have tried reinstalling Xcode, but the problem persists.

Have you tried to execute the switch command as root with a sudo command ?

sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
