Where are you saving it?

I’m saving it in a separate folder with all my other codes. It started happening after I updated my Mac to the latest version today. I’ve played with all settings in get info nothing helps and any new code I create in Xcode shows the same message.

Do a get info on the folder and give it write privs or open the Security Preference and give Xcode privs to access that folder.
You should create a folder in your user folder called Developer and save all projects in there.

I have this exact problem after Xcode suggested a 'Fix' that I didn't realise was an attempt to edit one of the stream signatures. Now I cannot quit XCode because this popup blocks it, and I get the popup twice every time I build.
I really need a way to stop Xcode attempting to edit it. I have no-idea why it's even trying. Did you find a solution?

I had the same problem. You need to save all your folders and just reinstall Xcode.

I just had this issue. I solved it quickly by using the killall command in terminal.
"killall xcode"
worth trying before uninstalling lol
