Cocoapods: Errno::EACCES - Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir

[jacobokoenig]

Hi,

I have been trying for a while to install pods in my podfile, but seem to get the error above consistently. I have been using XCode 10 beta for a while, but have had no problems with this.

So far I have tried:

• removing cocoapods completely from my project and reinitializing
• uninstalling and reinstalling cocoapods from my mac
• commenting out certain pods that seemed to be giving problems like GoogleMaps
• running with sudo

I also checked out similar issues on github, but no luck with the suggestions there.

Here is the log from my terminal everytime I run pod install directly from my project folder:

Any ideas why this might be happening?

This appears to be an issue that CocoaPods cannot create its cache folder in /Users/jacobokoenig/Library/Caches/CocoaPods.

Make sure you have sufficient permissions when you execute any pod command.

[jacobokoenig]

What I have tried doing is running pod install with 'sudo' but I get the following error: [!] You cannot run CocoaPods as root. How else would I be able to check that I have sufficient permissions?

[dnkoutso]

ls -l /Users/dnkoutso/Library/Caches/CocoaPods/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  6 dnkoutso  <redacted>  192 Jul 31 08:04 Pods

Use chmod to modify permissions.

[jacobokoenig]

OK, apparently my issue was that the folder ~/Library/Caches/CocoaPods/ didn't exist for some reason. I created it manually and that fixed my problem.

Thanks for your help!

sudo chown -R $USER <REACT PROJECT FOLDER>

will solve the issue for good!
