Updating to the latest JUCE + Projucer fixed the issue

I'm having an issue Compiling AAX on mac.... and I think it's just a permissions problem. Anyone have some tips to fix this?

You need admin rights to write to this directory. Make sure your user has the privilege.

Try to create a folder within this directory from the Finder.

@christoph-hart It appears that my account does have admin rights, and I'm able to create a folder within the Application Support folder.

@Christoph-Hart I've gotten a little closer, but not working yet. I've created a root account which gets me closer but I'm still encountering errors.
Build command Ld fails.

@dustbro maybe you can use chmod to change permissions on that folder? Via terminal

[Christoph Hart]

Have you tried compiling the project from within XCode? Maybe the command line call messes up the permissions.

[Dan Korneff]

@hisefilo Gonna try that now.
@Christoph-Hart Compiling directly in Xcode:

Finally figured out the problem. My Project Name had spaces in it. Apparently Macs don't like that? I removed the spaces and all worked as expected.
