Cordova Installer Fails
-----------------------
Key: CB-270
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-270
Project: Apache Callback
Issue Type: Bug
Components: iOS
Environment: Mac OS X
Reporter: Shazron Abdullah
Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
Show the Installer Log and report an issue in the Google Groups or Cordova
Issue Tracker (JIRA here).
*How:*
When the installer is launched, Apple-L to show the install log, then select
"Show All Logs" from the drop-down list. Run through the installation until you
get the error (don't close the installer down yet). Copy and Paste the log.
*Permissions Issues*
A previous installer (Cocos2D as an example that does this) installs their own
templates using the Root user, causing permissions issues for the PhoneGap
installer, which does not need root privileges to install.
Substitute [USERNAME] below for the name of your home account.
*The log might show this:*
{code}
/preinstall: mkdir: /Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/Project
Templates: Permission denied
{code}
*In Terminal, if you do:*
{code}
ls -la "/Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Developer/Xcode/" and go to the row with
Templates
{code}
*It would show for example:*
{code}
drwxr-xr-x 12 root staff 408 3 May 00:18 Templates
{code}
That's the problem, the owner of the folder is root. You'll have to reclaim
this for your current user.
*How:*
{code}
sudo chown [USERNAME] "/Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates"
{code}
*Run the installer again, and it should work this time.*
