Watchman won't let me start any of my react native projects after i updated my mac OS

This is my first time asking a question so please bear with me if i’m not asking according to the standards but ill try my best.

watchman warning: opendir(/Users/abdi/Library/VoiceTrigger/SAT) -> Operation not permitted. Marking this portion of the tree deleted To clear this warning, run: watchman watch-del /Users/abdi ; watchman watch-project /Users/abdi

This is the error i'm getting every time i try start any project, even the ones that i created previously.

I tried the following:

  1. watchman watch-del /Users/abdi ; watchman watch-project /Users/abdi
  2. Giving watchman full-disk access and restarting
  3. Moving my project to root folder (/Users/abdi)

This is what i get when i run watchman watch-list { "version": "4.9.0", "roots": [ "/Users/abdi" ] }

Please help.

I found solution. After giving full disk access use watchman watch /Users/$USER/.... to watch your project instead of watchman watch-project /Users/$USER/....

Bit late to the party, but to me the following worked

  1. Shut down the metro server / simulator (if it's running)

  2. Turn off and clear watchman cache

    $ watchman shutdown-server
$ watchman watch-del-all

  3. Start your project (i.e. react-native start, expo start, etc.)

There's no need to give watchman full disk access (nor should you)

You need to grant full disk access to watchman to allow it to watch the locations you've asked it to watch.

Go to 'System preferences' -> 'Security & Privacy' -> scroll down and click 'Full Disk Access', and then check 'Watchman'.

After changing this, restart your laptop.
