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.
This is probably the most obvious question on the face of Earth, but I'm an Actionscript newbie. I'm using the FDT plugin for Eclipse on Mac (FDT version 1.13, eclipse "Kepler Service Release 1" with build ID "20130919-0819", using OS X 10.9.1) to make an Actionscript 3 project. Everything works perfectly fine, and debugging/running works perfectly. However, I have no idea how to export it. Disabling "Build Automatically" then pressing Build All or Build Project seems to do something, it shows a loading bar for a second then it disappears. I believe I checked something like "Include web files" when I started my project, so that may be the culprit. Here is the contents of my project:
assets
-some images that I have
bin
-history
--history.css
--history.js
--historyFrame.html
-index.html {when I open shows the game, but I want an swf}
-playerProductInstall.swf {shows just a blue screen}
-swfobject.js {I think this has something to do with it, but I want an swf}
lib {empty}
src {I'm not showing you what's in here}
Duh! The files are stored in bin, they just don't show up in the Eclipse/FDT window. Open the bin folder in Finder and you'll see an swf, get the one with the name of your main class and you're good to go!
I have created an app for sphero.
The problem is that i started by opening the sphero sample program ButtonDrive and worked with that as a base. Now i want to change the name of the project and the apk.
I have tried right-clicking the project and renaming it that way, and for the main project that works, however when i run the project as an application unto my nexus 7 is just comes up and says:
" Unfortunately, Button Drive has stopped"
So why doesn't this work?
The tablet clearly thinks the project is still called Button Drive but where in the code do i have to change this to make it work?
or is it just not possible to change the name ?
When you right-clicked on the project in the project navigator did you click rename in the main dropdown, or did you click on "Rename Application Package" within the android tools sub-menu? You should be using the later option.
Also verify that the AndroidManifest.xml Label field is correct, or if it is pointing to a value in strings.xml within res/values verify that the application name is correct.
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/
I'm getting this error when trying to save a file in Xcode 4:
"The document could not be saved. You don’t have permission. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info."
Naturally, saving the file in TextMate works fine. Permissions: -rw-r--r--
Nothing changed from when it worked the last time.
Files are not locked, I tried rebooting, disk space is ok, files are on a local drive, error was googled. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Update: Also tried copying the files or renaming them. Directories are not locked. By the way, when I edited project configuration in Xcode it saves fine, I only met with the issue saving .m/.h files. I guess that copying the actual text in the files would work but I'm trying to find a bit less hardcore solution (bash script wouldn't be the issue but there could be other problems). It's not the simplest project either (~70 files, edited config).
Update 2: Found possible duplicate, doesn't really resolve the problem Unable to unlock file for editing in Xcode 4?
Update 3: Checked out earlier commit and when opening Xcode it said the project is locked. Checked out the same commit again and the error does not appear again (all files exc. DS_Store are tracked). What.
Update 4: I created a new user and set chmod -R 777 to the project directory. Editing now works fine. However I can't get it to work under my main account (I have all my preferences here.)
Rebooting fixed the error in my case.
Fixed by changing account name by following this guide. This essentialy creates a new account but with your old Home directory and within the process of transferring it fixes some file permissions.
(From above link:)
For Mac OS X v10.5 or later (do this twice if you want to keep your original username)
:
Enable the root user.
Log in as root.
Navigate to the /Users folder.
Select the Home folder with the short name you want to change, and rename it just like you would rename any folder. Keep in mind that the shortname must be all lowercase, with no spaces, and only contain letters.
Use the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier) in System Preferences to create a new user with the Account name or Short Name that you used in the previous step.
Click OK when "A folder in the Users folder already has the name 'account name'. Would you like to use that folder as the Home folder for this user account?" Note: This will correct the ownership of all files in the Home folder, and avoid permissions issues with the contents.
Choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
Log in as the newly created user. You should be able to access all of your original files (on the desktop, in Documents, and in the other folders of this Home).
After verifying that your data is as expected, you can delete the original user account via the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier).
Disable the root user.
Xcode 6 update: still seeing this problem.
Seems like an Xcode bug, because opening the file by clicking the error in the Issue navigator causes this problem, but if I open the file using the cmd+shift+O shortcut I am able to edit and save it. So for me the workaround is to not open the file by selecting the error and to open it using the Project navigator or Open quickly shortcut.
I upgraded to Lion and downloaded the new Xcode and found the same problem and found nothing to help, losing about three days trying to fix it. Then I realized that the Xcode 4, which is saved in the Applications folder, doesn't overwrite Xcode 3, which is in the Developer folder. When I was opening Xcode, I was opening version 3, not 4.
Make sure you're opening the right version.
open up the terminal and set
chmod 777
to the desired file or set
chmod -R 777
to the desired directory.
it should solve your problem
I just ran into this issue also. I was not able to fix it not by changing the permissions of the individual project file or folder. However, I was able to fix it by going into 'get info' on my user's home folder, reselecting the 'Read & Write' permissions for my user, and then clicking the gear->'apply to enclosed items'. Took it a while but then everything worked as expected. Hope it helps someone else.
This maybe helpful If you use CocoaPods: https://stackoverflow.com/a/38885499/3395008
I'm running Xcode 7.3 and CocoaPods 1.0.0. and this happens when trying to modify a file from a pod added as a development pod (i.e. from a local directory).
I just pod update again, when pod finished, Xcode will show an alert "The document has previously unsaved changes.", then click "Re-Save". that fix my issue.
I Had the same problem with actual swiftUI.
Solved the Problem easy:
Copy and paste the content from .swift-file to a word-document
Delete the swift-file
Close Xcode and reboot Hardware
New .swift-file in XCode and paste code from word-document
cmd+B ... cmd+r
I used to encounter the same problem several times, last time it was on Xcode 12.4
It seems like a bug for me, because it tells that some private file is modified despite I don't have any permissions to do so even if I want. Force quitting and relaunching the Xcode always helped before.
