I'm unable to Build/Archive my project due to an error:

Permission denied
Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code

I have tried correcting keychain login as advised by other answers, but it hasn't worked. Please could someone help? Most likely a rookie mistake but means I cannot even simulate my app.

Further details on the error:

Edit 17th Dec: thank you @geno-chen & @fantini I have checked & can report the following:

  1. Did you install Cocoapods with sudo: Yes.

  2. I checked the permissions of the files using ls -lh and had the following: -rw-r--r-- 1 james staff 159B 25 Mar 2015 Podfile -rw-r--r-- 1 james staff 1.2K 25 Mar 2015 Podfile.lock drwxr-xr-x 11 james staff 352B 17 Dec 14:03 Pods drwxr-xr-x 52 james staff 1.6K 17 Dec 14:03 trials drwxr-xr-x@ 5 james staff 160B 17 Dec 14:03 trials.xcodeproj drwxr-xr-x@ 5 james staff 160B 17 Dec 14:03 trials.xcworkspace drwxr-xr-x 4 james staff 128B 17 Dec 14:03 trialsTests

  3. I used chmod to modify permissions of the podfiles as below: -rwxr-xr-x 1 james staff 159B 25 Mar 2015 Podfile -rwxr-xr-x 1 james staff 1.2K 25 Mar 2015 Podfile.lock drwxr-xr-x 11 james staff 352B 17 Dec 14:03 Pods drwxr-xr-x 52 james staff 1.6K 17 Dec 14:03 trials drwxr-xr-x@ 5 james staff 160B 17 Dec 14:03 trials.xcodeproj drwxr-xr-x@ 5 james staff 160B 17 Dec 14:03 trials.xcworkspace drwxr-xr-x 4 james staff 128B 17 Dec 14:03 trialsTests

I then Cleaned my Build Folder, restarted but still have the same error.

  • It said "permission denied", then what is its permission? Maybe what you need is a `chmod +x`? – Geno Chen Dec 14 '18 at 16:07
  • Did you install Cocoapods with `sudo` did you run the install also with `sudo`? I'm thinking that your problem could be related with that, your user `james` doesn't have the permission to run that script (the one that was generated by Cocoapods). Go to the script location and list your files and permissions using `ls -lh`, add that to the question pls. – Fantini Dec 14 '18 at 16:08
  • added info above - thanks! – James LCQ Dec 17 '18 at 14:27

I fixed the permission problem by running the following command.

chmod +x "Path to .sh"

Please replace ProjectName with your project name and username with your username

chmod +x /Users/username/Documents/ProjectName/Pods/Target\ Support\ Files/Pods-ProjectName/Pods-ProjectName-frameworks.sh

You can get the path from your xcode project as explained by step 1 to 3

    How to give this permission permenently. In my case permission denied issues is coming each time when a new version of app is building. So I have to execute this command on every new build – Abhilash Shajan Nov 15 '19 at 12:17

    This works! I suppose we need to re-grant the "executable" permission to the script if the pod is brought along with the project from the internet. By the way, we can use `ls -l "scriptPath"` to check if the permission is granted successfully. – Sam Aug 10 '22 at 13:32

I've tried @Sawsan method but get no luck even the file is already executable.

Here is the step how I solve it:

1.delete Podfile.lock

2.delete Pods directory

3.delete .xcworkspace file

4.Pod install again

that's it.

give it a try!

I have to own a trial for this solution and I got a proper result.

Follow the step:

1) Open Terminal and set a project path

"pod deintegrate" command executes

2) Then after "pod install" command executes.

I solved by deleting the Pods folder that was committed to the repo.
