Cordova Xcode build failed "Permission denied"

Question

I am trying to build an iOS app using Xcode and Cordova, however I keep getting this error message:

cordova/lib/copy-www-build-step.sh: Permission denied

Has anyone overcome this problem before?

Answer 1

You can fix it like this also

cd platforms/ios/cordova/lib
sudo chmod +x copy-www-build-step.sh

This basically gives the file execute permission only instead of chmod 777 which gives it full permission (read, write, execute.) For anyone wanting clarification on what the difference is.
