I have been trying to fix this a few days before. I was adding JSQMessagesViewController to my iOS project. Added the library manually by dragging and dropping the JSQMessagesViewController folder downloaded from Github. tried to add a Bridging header for jsqmessagesviewcontroller. tried to add 

#import JSQMessagesViewController 
#import JSQMessages.h

later then when I build the project I found this error message

error: failed to remove /Users/user/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/CHATAPP-gcvyuyhkvbxvnlfnrrbmaebxevhx/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/CHATAPP.app/Info.plist: “Info.plist” couldn’t be removed.

I tried searching but didn't help any... what went wrong? How Can I remove this error ? using swift 2.2 and xcode 7.2

I began experiencing this issue right after making a pod install with Fabric (that made some changes to Info.plist). Then I realized that there was two Info.plist references in my project.

To solve the problem I just removed one of them, cleaned my project (Cmd + Shift + K) and built it again.

Hope this helps.
