Error opening Android React-Native project on AndroidStudio through MacOS

Question

I'm trying to open an existing Android React-Native project through AndroidStudio, however the following exceptions are displayed to me:

com.intellij.openapi.externalSystem.model.ExternalSystemException: Unable to save ...local.properties (Permission denied)

java.io.FileNotFoundException: ...local.properties (Permission denied)

My operating system is the MacOs and Android project was created by the command:

react-native init exercises

How can I solve ?

Looks like you don't have a permission to create new file in that particular folder. Are you the Admin of this os ? — AmanDeepSharma, Jul 05 '19 at 20:47
Start your android emulator manually and run 'adb devices' in command line terminal, what is the output ? — AmanDeepSharma, Jul 05 '19 at 21:02

I discovered that the react-native init exercises command was not creating the project correctly.

I needed to change the read and write permissions on the project folder in order to work correctly.

I followed this link:
