Building iOS apps with Xcode, especially on macOS 14.0 beta with an M1 Pro processor, can sometimes result in the error: “Sandbox: rsync.samba (13105) deny(1) file-write-create”. This issue also appears when building from Visual Studio Code. Here’s a comprehensive guide to resolving this error.
Understanding the Error
The error typically arises due to Xcode’s new security settings, which can interfere with the build process. Specifically, the ENABLE_USER_SCRIPT_SANDBOXING setting in Xcode can enforce permissions that prevent certain scripts from executing as needed.
Solution Steps
-
Disable User Script Sandboxing:
- Open your project in Xcode.
- Navigate to Project > Runner > Build Settings > Build Options.
- Locate the
ENABLE_USER_SCRIPT_SANDBOXINGsetting and set it to No.
-
Additional Steps for Persistent Issues:
- If you have multiple targets, such as “Runner” and “Flutter Assemble”, ensure the setting is disabled for both.
- Run the following commands in your terminal:
flutter cleanflutter pub get- Navigate to the iOS folder:
cd ios - Execute:
pod install
Advanced Considerations
If the above steps do not resolve your issue, consider checking for updates to your CocoaPods and Xcode versions as newer versions may address compatibility issues. Additionally, managing your project with a Gemfile and ensuring the correct version of the xcodeproj gem can prevent conflicts.
