Xcode Install problem

permissionxcode

After installing Xcode and I try to open it I get blocked with a message "Scanning for Plug-in failed" and that I may not have appropriate permission..I was logged-in as an administrator. Do I need "root" privileges?

Best Answer

If you are logged in to the admin account Xcode should open up without issues.

The only reason I can think of for this error would be that the plugin affected was corrupted or failed to install correctly.

You sould remove all xcode files, redownload it and start fresh.

IOS – Xcode not letting me open a specific project

Open terminal and type

sudo chmod -R 777 /path/to/project_folder

NOTE: the capital R in the command above. Obviously change the path to your project folder to what it actually is.

If that command works without error, but you still cannot open the project, then it isn't in fact a permissions problem but another bug in XCode.

You're not the first person to report this error however. Hopefully the above sorts it out for you. Let me know.
