My name is Pedro and I’m looking to start in Software Development.

I’ve been trying to take this path for a few years but have been unsucessful because of lack of discipline (mustly due to the time I have available). But I noticed, that it was mainly because of not having a project or idea to develop and work on.

Now I do! However, my project is a mobile application that I’m looking to develop in React Native/Expo.

I haven’t developed anything else and I’m using a lot of Youtube/ChatGPT/VSC recommended documentation to know the steps I need to follow.

When creating the npx create-expo-app@latest app, I tried to run the npm run ios command but I’m getting the following error.

Unable to run simctl:
Error: xcrun simctl help exited with non-zero code: 72
? Xcode must be fully installed before you can continue. Continue to the App Store? › (Y/n)Error: EMFILE: too many open files, watch
at FSEvent.FSWatcher._handle.onchange (node:internal/fs/watchers:207:21)

I installed XCode iOS 17.5 Simulator and expected it to run, but I’m lost in what to do next.

Appreciate the help and guidance!
