1. I don't understand the issue well enough to file a bug.
I do have Xcode. Why wasn't it found?
I just clicked on Xcode.app and it wants to install more stuff.
I clicked "install" and it did something with a green bar movimg to the right
and then welcomed me to Xcode 12.5 (12E262).
It wants me to do something about a project, which I am not going to do, so I will just close Xcode.
I quit R and the started R and then library(tcltk).
It gave the same messages about xcrun and otool.
Consequently I don't know if the install button on Xcode actually installed anything.
The Finder in Applications shows May 3, 2021 which is three weeks ago, not today.
This suggests to me I should issue an xcode command somewhere so it can find those things.
Perhaps you could change the warning to give information on what to type where (in the terminal app?,
in the Xcode app?, as a system("") command from within R?)
2. The instruction on the CRAN page about XQuartz says to upgrade for a new macOS.
I don't have a new macOS. I am at Big Sur 11.3.. I upgraded to
a new R major version from 4.0.4 to 4.1.0. Should the instruction say to upgrade XQuartz when I
upgrade to a new R major version?

I agree that it may be worthwhile to just silence the warning when you are missing xcrun, since XCode is not a requirement at run time, so you can file a bug report. It's just a benign warning since the non-existence of xcrun doesn't prevent from running eventually.
