This seems to be a folder permission issue, make sure that the file/folder permission are correct, see 755/644, and also the ownership is correct (not really familiar with Xampp).

For a solution that works out of the box, try MAMP, for example. Laravel Herd is also for development on a mac, see our screencast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb_-bo77IPc
