It turns out that it was a permission issue.

My project has some files which show up with lock icon and every time I edit them, I have to click on a confirm button that I want to edit these files. After clicking on the button I can edit and save the files fine. But is is annoying.
These files are not locked in Finder.
e.g.
-r-xr--r--@ 1 john admin 5319 27 Aug 2008 qBuild
So how can I turn off the locked or read only status in XCode.
1) An explicit way to unlock file from within Xcode is to click on the lock displayed in the top right corner of the edit window. (This copes with both the "Locked" checkbox in Finder, and with write permissions.)
2) Also, look in the Preferences under Text Editing and see if "Save files as writable" is checked. If this checkbox is off then Xcode will try and preserve the current permissions, so you keep getting prompted after making the decision to make a change. With the checkbox turned on then first time file is saved the permissions are changed so you only get prompted first time.
