I have the same issue with the same setup. I believe a MacOS or XCode update triggered it. My specs: Apple M1 chip: 14.3.1 , Xcode Version: 15.3 and ROOT Version: 6.30.04 (through homebrew). I tried the same methods to solve it as you without any luck, need a roll-back or a fix.

I can confirm the same problem with my M1 Macbook Pro running 14.3.1. The Command Line Tools or Xcode update dated TODAY (March 6) seems to have broken things. I tried to roll back to the previous Command Line Tools (15.1) but this did not fix the problem.

I also have the same issue since an Xcode update yesterday. I then updated Command Line Tools and it did not fix the issue.

Oh boy, glad I’m not the only one. Literally was using ROOT yesterday for my research, and now this happens…if anyone has a solution, I would greatly appreciate it…

(Temporary) Solution here: ROOT 6.30.04 build failed on macOS 14.4 arm64 Xcode 15.3 - #6 by Subhadip_Pal
The error in the other issue comes during installation, and mines come during launching. We are setting things up differently (I set things up through brew and he built it directly).
Is there another fix?

I heard from a fellow Mac user that their conda root build did not break with the XCode update, but I as everyone/most above get root from brew package manager. I have not tried it yet but could be a temporary quick fix.
I have an M1 Macbook Pro running 14.3.1. My ROOT is 6.30/04. As noted above, the recent Xcode updates broke my ROOT. I have rolled back both the Command Line Tools and the XCode app to 15.1. You can obtain these items from here:
Sign In - Apple (Apple ID signin required)
Rolling back both of these to 15.1 fixed the problem, and I can run ROOT again. I have also set my Mac to NOT do any updates for the time being.

May I ask how did you roll back the Command Line Tools? Further, after rolling back the Command Line Tools and the XCode app to 15.1, did you reinstall ROOT with brew or other methods?
This worked for me, thank you so much!
This worked also out of the box. Reinstalled Xcode 15.1, Command Line Tools, and that’s it, no need to reinstall ROOT (I also have a brew installation)
Quick question, this worked and the latest root version shows up on the welcome text, but the TBrowser is an older version. Is there a way to update TBrowser?
To rollback Xcode: (1) Remove the Xcode app from your Applications folder, and place it in the trash. Empty the trash. Restart your Mac. (2) Go to the site mentioned and download the version of Xcode that you want. Unxip the file. Now you will have an Xcode app in your downloads folder. Drag it to the Applications folder. Restart your Mac. Now you have an older Xcode. (Professionals will note there are more subtle ways to do this, but I wanted to give a simple and straightforward description. Some websearching will reveal to you how you can have several versions of Xcode and Command Line Tools installed on your machine at the same time.)
To rollback Command Line Tools: This is more complex. Here is a great page describing the several steps. Uninstall Xcode Command Line Tools · Mac Install Guide
For me it was much simpler. I went to your link and found Xcode 15.1 and Command Line Tools for 15.1.
I extracted Xcode from the file (just double click and it auto-extracted), then moved it to Applications, and overwrote the existing Xcode.
Then installed Command Line Tools from the downloaded dmg file.
Open a new terminal window and it worked.
Thanks a lot again

Thank you this worked for me, I also did a new install of root with brew. Not sure if that was neede.
I just uninstalled the root using brew, and installed new root package. It is working now!
Do you also have the latest version of XCode and Command Line Tools, that is 15.3? And what is the version of ROOT you have installed now?
Actually I installed Xcode again and Xcode-select(Note: if you have other software running using Xcode I can advise you not to uninstall or delete it cause you will have to install again)
Here I uninstalled the root I had, and the installed new one!(ROOT Version: 6.30/04)
What is your version number for XCode and Command Line Tools?
