EMFILE: too many open files, watch

[kovkev]

Hi! I am trying to build a react-native app on XCode. I see the following error.

Note that I am running on M1 with Rosetta (x86_64 architecture). I did the advice I found that is to brew reinstall watchman. I also did sudo launchctl limit maxfiles 65536 unlimited to increase the max open files limit.

How should I resolve this issue?
