Unable to save local.properties file in android studio

Question

Unable to save '/Users/Jack/Documents/project.io/app/platforms/android/local.properties'/Users/Jack/Documents/project.io/app/platforms/android/local.properties (Permission denied)

I got this error in android studio when trying to import my ionic project.

Answer 1

Not sure if you fixed this already. I believe you probably repo clone the project under "sudo". So the owner of that folder will be "root".

The easy way to fix this would be to delete the directory and then re-clone without "sudo".

Answer 2

In your case doing

sudo chmod -R 777 /Users/Jack/Documents/project.io

should work
