Xcode Build Issue - permission denied

Question

I am using Xcode 10.1. Everytime I build my project I get this error:

/Users/{username}/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/{random_name}/Build/Intermediates.noindex/.... line 2: /Users/{username}/path_to_app/Pods/Target Support Files/pod_name/... Permission denied

I already tried the accepted answer here. I also tried doing the sudo chown but those did not fix the error. These are the actual steps I did, multiple times:

Remove all files in the DerivedData
Do the sudo chown in both paths: DerivedData and path_to_app
Clean
Build

What am I missing?

Hi @shim I just did but I got a "Operation not permitted" for each and every file in my app's directory. — von v., Apr 05 '19 at 14:27
Doubt it will help but have you tried Disk Utility's "First Aid" ? — shim, Apr 05 '19 at 14:28
Plus [this](http://osxdaily.com/2018/10/09/fix-operation-not-permitted-terminal-error-macos/) might help — shim, Apr 05 '19 at 14:30
Seems like that is only available for Mojave. I only have High Sierra. — von v., Apr 05 '19 at 14:37

What worked for me is using chmod. Here's the command chmod -R 755 {my_working_folder}. For an explanation of what the numbers represent, you may read this article.

Here's what worked for me.Navigate to the directory which contains the file (for which you receive "Permission Denied" error) ,Then in terminal type chmod 777 (your_file_name). What basically you are doing is giving read/write/execute permission to your file . For more info check this article - https://www.maketecheasier.com/file-permissions-what-does-chmod-777-means/
