After creating an ionic project `$ ionic start myApp sidemenu` then adding iOS as a platform `$ ionic platform add ios` then building it `$ ionic build ios` Everything seems to work fine (apart from having to add sudo to the beginning of the commands). My problem is when I try and open the XCode project. I get a “you don’t have permissions…” error. If I change the settings and add myself I then get files locked which can not be unlocked errors during XCode start up. Any problem from a command line point of view that any one knows about? ---

Hm, are you using the osx yosemite preview or mavericks? Have you updated your version of xcode and the xcode command line tools? ---

No worries, it seems to have sorted it self out. There might have been an update between then and now…no sure. I run the commands just like the Getting Started guide and it works with no problems at all. ---

I’m getting the same problem, It’s happening now on any new project when I run /$ ionic build ios the XXX.xcodeproj file comes locked with no permissions… I think thats happening after the update of OSX Yosemite. Any help to fix this? ---

I re-did this on a different mac. Got a permission error again. I fixed it by doing this on the app folder to change permissions: `sudo chown -R .` I did this and opened the XCode project and no one permission errors ---

Where are you trying to build the app? Within your home directory or outside of it? I’ve recently bought a Mac Mini, installed Yosemite and am not having any problems with the Xcode project (even when switching back and forth between Xcode 5 and Xcode 6 I am only building/creating apps within my home folder though ---
