Running Intel XDK v1995

This does not happen on the PC version.

I just tried it on an OSX Yosemite system and it worked fine. Which version of OSX are you running?

I'll have to ask engineering what the "PKInstallSandbox" refers to, it might provide a clue as to something to do with your system (some subsystem on the XDK having some other issues that is showing up with this symptom).

Also, if you reproduce this issue, while the dialog box is on your screen, goto this directory: ~/Library/Application\ Support\XDK\ and find the "xdk.log" file and attach it to this thread. Note this is the ~/Library directory, not the /Library directory. There may be some useful clues in that file.

I'm running Yosemite 10.10.3

I just tried again and saved to my desktop and it worked fine. I was previously trying to save the new app in DropBox. It seems saving in DropBox is causing the issue.

But saving to DropBox on a PC (Surface Pro 2 WIndows 8.1) works without error. Why?

[PaulF_IntelCorp]

It probably has to do with the way the DropBox file is represented to apps on a PC versus on a Mac. There may be differences in the directory or file permissions or differences in the type of filesystem. For example, the XDK does not deal well with network filesystems.

That would be swell if they could fix it for OSX.
