Xcode Problems Redux: You don’t have permission to save the file “iOS DeviceSupport” in the folder “Xcode”

Xcode Problems Redux: You don’t have permission to save the file “iOS DeviceSupport” in the folder “Xcode”.

So we have another problem with Xcode: You don’t have permission to save the file “iOS DeviceSupport” in the folder “Xcode”. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info

Some pretty shitty info. But I’ve played around a bit and found a fix.

1. Open up the terminal app

2. Execute the command:

sudo chmod 777 /Users//Library/Developer/Xcode

3. Disconnect your device and reconnect it

4. In the organiser, under devices press Add to Portal

5. Xcode should now add your device for development.

Hope this helps anyone out there :)
