I'm getting error message about permission denied, when I build any app on Xcode 4:

error: unable to create '/Users/mike/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/JewBack-ejcsrvhiqaxnzmdheqdhshjvwjng/Build/Products' (Permission denied)

There's other error message, too:

The file “Info.plist” doesn’t exist. looks suspicious .. does it exist in your project? Either way, try a Clean Build. - WrightsCS
@WrightsCS how do you do clean build?? - nickj890
@WrightsCS yeah info.plist exists its under resources folder on xCode 4 on my prject the .plist tells me like icon file and bundle name and the infodictionary version - nickj890
COMMAND + K to Clean Build. - WrightsCS

Ok. It seems you may be restricted to create Build Folder in your system. Try out the procedure below which creates a Build Folder in project folder itself.

In Xcde menu bar go to: Preferences > Locations Tab. In Locations change Derived Data to Relative and set any name in the text box. I have used "Build". This folder will be created in your project folder for built binaries.

please check your Xcode version and upgrade your Xcode. early I was using Xcode 6.1 and I got error message with that Xcode version after then I upgrade Xcode Version 6.2. now It is working perfectly. when you upgrade your OS X version You should upgrade Xcode version.
