Charles 4.2.8 cannot configure your proxy settings while it is on a read-only volume Mac OS Catalina

1

On macOS Catalina, i am getting the following issue while running Charles 4.2.8.

Charles cannot configure your proxy settings while it is on a read-only volume. Perhaps you are running Charles from the disk image? If so, please copy Charles to the Applications folder and run it again. Otherwise please ensure that Charles is running on a volume that is read-write and try again.

Got the solution - Change the ownership & permission of the "charles resource folder".

 sudo chown -R root "/Applications/Charles.app/Contents/Resources"
 sudo chmod -R u+s "/Applications/Charles.app/Contents/Resources"
