MacOS – Brew doctor asking to update xcode, while its already updated

homebrewinstallmacosxcode

When I run brew doctor It says 

Warning: Your Xcode (6.4) is outdated
Please update to Xcode 7.3.1.
Xcode can be updated from the App Store.

While I already have latest XCode cli, which I found out by running pkgutil --pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables which says: 

package-id: com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables
version: 7.3.1.0.1.1461711523
volume: /
location: /
install-time: 1466534515
groups: com.apple.FindSystemFiles.pkg-group com.apple.DevToolsBoth.pkg-group com.apple.DevToolsNonRelocatableShared.pkg-group

How to I fix it ?

The problem here is just simply that brew is detecting an old version of Xcode. If it was objecting to the version of the command line tools that you have installed you'd be getting a different error message.

A newer Command Line Tools release is available.
Update them from Software Update in the App Store.

You can see the actual code here yourself. The checks for Xcode and the command line tools are separate.

The way to fix this message from brew doctor is either to remove the old version of Xcode or update it.
