Description

When upgrading xCode from 8 to 8.1, the tns command line started to fail. No errors; just returned to the command line after spinning for a few minutes. Running tns doctor does not show any failures and says everything is fine.

To fix; you need actually open up xCode and answer the question about it needing to download support files. Once it does download then tns starts working again. This "error" case should be checked by TNS and then it should alert the user what need to be fixed at least at a minimum with the tns doctor.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how TNS interacts with xCode and detect if xCode needs to download support files, then display an appropriate error message.
