I am working currently on an expo app and I recently came up with this issue : when I run npx expo start
and then I press a to open the app on an Android Emulator I get this error :
› Opening on Android...
› Opening http://127.0.0.1:19000/_expo/loading?platform=android on Pixel_4_API_33
Couldn't start project on Android: spawnSync lsof ENOENT
I tried different emulators but I still get the error everytime…

The error came from the fact that I did not have an ANDROID_HOME variable inside my PATH. I just followed the instructions here and problem solved !
Ensure that
lsof
command is in the system’s PATH.Also you can try the command
npx expo start --clear
