I recently switched to a different computer for my programming. it was another collegue’s computer and was not reformated. i installed xCode on it. This is the first time i’ve tried to update an app of ours on this machine. i archived w/out errors and i validated w/out errors. when i go to submit, i get these two errors:
*Unable to create configuration directory: /Users/username/.itmstransporter
*Your home folder must be writable in order to save run-time configuration data. Please
ensure your home folder exists and is writable.
i am not a mac OS person and can barely get around on a mac. a coworker checked and i do have read/write permisions for /Users directory.
can i fix this or do i need to re-install xCode or the OS?
I belive this is because your username on that machine can not write to your home directory (some how)..
Try opening a finder window and “get info” on your home folder. (from finder, Cmd-N opens a window, right click on the folder in the left that is your user name, that is your home folder, and select get info. Right click might not work, if it does not work, use ctrl-click.)
In the “get info” dialog, at the bottom you will see “Sharing & Permissions” you may have to turn the triangle by clicking on it. In the list, make sure your username has Read & Write prifileges, if not, you need to add them by logging in as an admin and changing them.
This photo is just for reference, but you can see justin (me) has Read & Write, that is what you need on your home directory.
