You are right. At first I entered in my directory. type the command that is sudu chmod -R 777 \*. Then I tried sudo ionic platform update ios. The message is success. ---

I think the correct line is ``` $ionic hooks add ``` not just $ionic hooks Note: I had to remove the current platforms inorder for the platform to be built correctly with the hooks in place. ``` $ionic platform remove ios $ionic hooks add $ionic platform ios ``` Then I could build without any errors. ---

Thank you for the solution. But this’s very weird. We don’t need to execute “ionic hooks add” before. It would be nice if this is going to be the standard workflow or it is just a workaround for this version. ---

Thank you for the solution. Followed what @leogz and @sakotturi said. 1. removed current iOS platform \> added hooks \> re-added iOS platform works for me! ---

Hey, sorry for the late reply man! Been caught up with projects. Well, I’m no master, but from my understanding, hooks is a program used to install other minor missing dependencies or plugins that is stopping your install request. Hooks can also be written to bypass certain minor errors that aren’t worthy to stop your installation. Warning: I could stand to be corrected. I’m still new too. Just sharing my knowledge and understanding thus far. ---

yep, like everyone said, u just have to add permission t your folder and subfolders, and then sudo ionic build ios, and if you cant run by ionic run ios, so open the platform folder and open de xcode file and run it from xcode.
