I had the same issue, but having XCode installed and running xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer fixed the issue for me.

Found this solution here: gfx-rs/gfx#2309 (comment)

I think it is also worth mentionning the Building ZED on MacOS documentation here, at least that's what was missing for me.
