Watchman Version Showing 0.0.0. Preventing npm start on React Native App

I am trying to develop a react native application on MacOS, but I have been running into issues with installing watchman onto the machine. I have been running the command brew install watchman and whenever I enter the command watchman version the output displays version: 0.0.0. However, directly after running the first installation command over again, I see Warning: watchman 2022.06.06.00 is already installed and up-to-date which is really confusing me.

I have tried various different troubleshooting techniques such as uninstalling and reinstalling watchman, instead of using brew I attempted using sudo port install watchman with MacPorts, removing the .watchmanconfig file and re-creating it, and lastly restarting my device, but none of these solutions have seemed to work for me.

Whenever, I open my react native project and run the command npm start, this is the output that I see,

jest-haste-map: Watchman crawl failed. Retrying once with node crawler.
  Usually this happens when watchman isn't running. Create an empty `.watchmanconfig` file in your project's root folder or initialize a git or hg repository in your project.

...

watchmanResponse: {
    error: 'std::__1::system_error: open: /Users/USER/Desktop/ReactNativeApp: Operation not permitted',
    version: '0.0.0'
  }

This error message ends the npm start and because of this, I am unable to run npm run ios and continue with the development of the application. If anyone happens to know of any fixes or has experienced this before I would appreciate it if you share how I can resolve it. Thank you.
