Cordova Xcode build failed "Permission denied"

I am trying to build an iOS app using Xcode and Cordova, however I keep getting this error message:

cordova/lib/copy-www-build-step.sh: Permission denied

Has anyone overcome this problem before?

You can fix it like this also

cd platforms/ios/cordova/lib
sudo chmod +x copy-www-build-step.sh

This basically gives the file execute permission only instead of chmod 777 which gives it full permission (read, write, execute.) For anyone wanting clarification on what the difference is.

Faced exact same issue.

I guess git messed up the permissions between windows / mac.

cd platforms/ios/cordova/lib

sudo chmod 777 copy-www-build-step.sh

Then try to build the project. Worked for me.
