Error cleaning build folder - You do not have required file permissions - xcode6

I'm using xcode 6. Its fine to clean but it fails when I choose clean build folders.

Seems like you are restricted to create a build folder in your system root.
In XCode Menu --> Preferences --> Locations Tab --> Locations sub-tab, Change Derived Data to Relative and give any name in text box.
Have a look here which is also a permission problem in Xcode.

It could be due to Xcode bug (at least for me in Xcode 6.3.1). Toggling the location for derived data folder will fix it.
Go to Xcode > Preferences > Locations and change Derived Data to Relative, then back to Default.
Clean build folder again.

I just clean that folder in Finder, then all fine.

In Xcode 14 I clicked "Clean" command which had popped up in the 3rd row from the top and that fixed it.

How do find the .app file in Xcode 9.3.1

Ok,
I've spent a few hours trying to find an answer to this question and had no luck what so ever.
I am creating an appium automated test using xcode Version 9.3.1 I need to locate the .app file so I can add it to my desired capabilities and I cant find it in any folder.
Breaking it this down in the most basic fashion, how do I locate the .app file so I can add it to my ios appium automated testing?
Out of curiousity would I need to use something like homebrew to locate it?
Or can I find from a specific menu in xcode?
Xcode -> Preferences -> Locations
Press the button to open folder in Finder
Here you need to find project build folder, open it and search sub folders with Debug-iphonesimulator name, you should fine build file there.
The full path might look like:
/Users/<user>/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<Project name>/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator
By default Xcode stores the derived data for all projects in a single shared folder under your home directory at the following location:
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
From Xcode 6, you can access or change derived data location from Preferences -> Locations Tab
but you can setup in xcode:
File-> Project Setting
locate "Derived data:"
here is how to setup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVVRsR9XenQ
Seriously thank you so much for all your help. I really appreciated it so much. You've all been a bunch of legends. I was able to solve this problem and and I want help save someone 3 days of trouble.
Finding the .**app file is a HIDDEN FILE **
Basically there are number of ways to find the .app file in this version of Xcode.
You can find the .app by using your search bar on the mac. Also, you can find the .app would be in this directory
users/(YourMacAccount)/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/UICatalog-.../Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/(appname).app
to reveal the hidden files type cmd>shift>.
If you still can't find it (Which is what happened to me). Then:
Click the show in finder icon (the one shaped like a file) in xcode
This is where you can find it in xcode 9.3.1

Can't see project folders in IntelliJ IDEA

Every once in a while, I open an old project and I can't see any of the folders in the intelliJ project viewer. I can see all the files at the root.. but no folders. Yes I can delete the .iml file and .idea folder and re-create the project, but come on.. there's gotta be an easier way to fix this.
Is there?
If you look in project settings (ctrl-shift-alt-s), you should see a module structure. If you instead see "Nothing to see", do the following:
In Project Structure -> Modules, press the + button,
press enter (since, for some weird reason, it won't let me click on "New Module")
In the window that pops up, click on the "..." next to Content root, find your root folder, and select it
Press ok
ignore any warning that says the name is already in use (or to that effect)
the simplest solution worked from me, just delete the .idea folder
keep in mind this will delete all of idea's current project configuration, it'll create the folder with default settings when reload the project again... but all other configuration will be lost if not properly backed-up
It might be because the project didn't have any modules defined. Try adding existing source code by hitting File > New > Module from Existing Sources and select the parent directory of the project for source code
Go to pom.xml file -> right click -> maven -> generate source and update folders. You will see your files and folder structures in left hand side.
All the project-specific settings for a project opened through Intellij IDE are stored in the .idea folder.
The .idea folder (hidden on OS X) in the solution root contains
IntelliJ’s project-specific settings files. These include per-project
details such as VCS mapping and run and debug configurations, as well
as per-user details, such as currently open files, navigation history
and currently selected configuration.
So, if you are not able to see the project file structure in your Intellij IDE, just delete the .idea folder,
rm -rf .idea
and reload the project, then after reload you'll be easily able to get your project structure displayed.
Thank you very much. I just remove the .idea folder and works in my case.
rm -rf .idea
For me, the java folder was not showing up. I went into File->Project Structure. In the second column, I selected on _main. In the third column, I selected the tab "sources". In what I call the fourth column, where the "+Add Content Root" is shown, I verified, the java source/folder was present. In my case, there was an extra source folder, which was the current location. I removed this, applied and the java folder immediately showed up.
Right click on the Project name -> Open Module Setting -> Check the application context path set it up at your project location.
Check your idea.log -- it may have some details explaining why or what is happening (Help | Reveal log in Explorer). Possibly one of the config files got corrupted.
You can always backup and delete .idea subfolder (project settings) and re-create project from scratch. When it's wroking again (after basic configuration) you may copy some of the files from that folder back to recover some of your settings (if there were many).
This happened to me on a new computer when I opened up a Java project in the newly installed Intellij.
The problem was that I had not installed any JDK on the machine.
I had to install a JDK and then go into the settings at ctrl-shift-alt-s and add a JDK by specifying the folder where I installed it. It's possible that IntelliJ would have found it if I closed it and reopened it.
In my case the solution was to create a new project, specifying the project type and creating it within the same directory path as the project that does not load the project files correctly.
PhpStorm automatically detects that the directory exists and gives you the option to create project from existing sources.
This can be found under:
File --> New project...
For gradle users: "Reload All Gradle Projects" option should help.

How can one see an iOS bundle's file structure?

I'm trying to create a subfolder structure in my app following this advice:
Subdirectories within an iOS application
But I can't see (using the Organizer) a way to test whether the subfolder structure is actually achieved or not...is there a way to check, other than jailbreaking the phone and getting in through ssh?
You can open the bundle that is installed to the simulator by navigating to:
<User Name>/Library/Application Support/iOS Simulator/<Alpha-Numeric String>/<App Name>.app'
Once you navigate to the above location (it may be .ipa, can't remember exactly) you can right click and choose Show Package Contents which will show you the contents app bundle.
If the question relates to *.ipa or *.app boundles, then you can rename them to *.zip and go from there.
At the moment, with Xcode 10 and macOS 10.14.X the path for simulators would be:
/Users/<user>/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/<XXX>/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/<YYY>
Also, if you want to check for the previous step and check the files that would be inside the *.app(bundle) in Derived Data (to check for devices) the path would be:
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/

Moving .lproj file inside Resources

I'm trying to begin localization on a project, and I've already got an English version of Localizable.strings going. I'm now trying to add French to that file, which is creating an fr.lproj folder, as I'd expect. However, it's putting it in my project root, and I'd like it inside my project's Resources directory.
Xcode seems to have no interest in letting me move the file, and if I move it in Finder, it goes red in Xcode as expected, but doesn't let me click to locate the file.
I've tried moving it in Finder, then editing project.pbxproj in a text editor to add Resources/ in front of the only line in there that mentions fr.lproj/Localizable.strings, and that has worked, but after doing that, the project's targets also turned red in Xcode, and building the app doesn't change that fact. Very odd.. any idea what could be going on, or how to get this going?
This can be a real pain. I even had XCode crash on me when trying to correct unwanted file locations. I found that the best way is to create the localized file (be it .strings or .xib) as a copy of the source language version outside of XCode, then drag and drop it into XCode. If you do this then XCode will display it correctly and your targets' Build Phases > Copy Bundle Resources settings will include it with its correct location. I don't know why your targets are displayed in red, perhaps you could look under Copy Bundle Resources in case anything is wrong there, or also select your project and click Validate Settings in case you haven't already done so.
Also, if you have been testing in the simulator beware of how XCode does not clean up the files in your app bundle--you may want to delete the app and run it again to make sure it's working with your new location.

Why does Xcode 4 not add / create / modify any build directory when I do a build?

I recently upgraded to Xcode4 and noticed that my build/Release-iphoneos folder no longer gets populated with a .app or .dSYM file after I do a build.
**note - any build that is (build for running/testing/profiling). Also why is the build for archiving option gray'd out? in Xcode3 I was able to archive and build my .ipa w/ organizer
Am I doing something wrong or does the new IDE put a release build some place else?
Thank you in advance
By default it's placed in a new folder called 'Derived Data' within your Library folder. If you open up the preferences and go to the 'Locations' tab, you can change it back to the old location if you wish.
That is because Xcode 4 no longer uses that directory. If you look in preferences, you can both see where and change where Xcode 4 builds stuff.
