The react native app doesn't update automatically when I make changes in files of a folder(even when I reload it) unless I restarted and run yarn start again. It only auto-updates the changes of any files in the same directory of the app.js
Can Anyone help me to figure out what can be the problem?
ps: I am using expo

On what device are you testing your app? Web, Android Device or Emulator? – Nullish Byte Dec 29 '21 at 21:01

May be [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62732197/why-is-expo-not-refreshing-when-i-save-changes) helps you. In short shake your smartphone and tap on "Enable Fast Refresh". – Nullish Byte Dec 30 '21 at 08:40

I had the same problem. I solved it with:
rm -f ./.git/index.lock

Thank you, I found the solution in my case that I need to copy the project to WSL instead of accessing it from /mnt/.. – Menna Magdy Jan 12 '22 at 14:08

why would you delete the git lock file?This way you would lost the git index – Carmine Tambascia Jun 15 '22 at 05:34

Sometimes, for whatever reason, a git process will not end gracefully. There are a number of reasons why this would happen. In this case, you can resolve the problem simply by removing the index.lock file manually via this command or a similar command on your operating system: rm .git/index.lock. index.lock is not the same that index – Hernan Oct 26 '22 at 02:37
