This is the full error "Error: EMFILE: too many open files, watch at FSEvent.FSWatcher._handle.onchange (node:internal/fs/watchers:207:21" The issue started after I installed an api (AsyncStorage) from react native. I uninstalled it, uninstalled all node modules, ran npm again, updated expo version, tried the unlimit stuff and nothing worked. There is people that say to "brew install watchman", I tried that but it does not work. Not familiar if watchman would work for me as am using Firebase for my backend only. I am using an M1 mac air 2020.

Any help on how to get expo working with be appreciated.
