hello sir, i'm currently in that kind of situation.
do you managed to fix it?

Sounds like you didn't install watchman? For help with react native, you should be asking for help from the react native project.

I have the same problem

@dchiragj Thats the same problem I have, I just created a new application for testing purposes react-native init myApp. I have not modified it or changed anything in the files, but for some reason when try running the app it gives the error, it persists even after trying many solutions.

@dchiragj Your last screenshot shows you trying to use watchmen as a command. You should be using watchman. The other errors you mention are not because of Watchman.

Anyone else with this problem should describe how they installed Watchman. Saying you have the same problem isn't productive.

I already install watchman in my system.

i have the same problem

Same problem. Any fix ?

After removing node_modules and clearing cache, my problem was solved after updating a react-native dependency

You need to copy and past watchman.exe and his .dll files to the root of your react project then run the command.
