React Native project, sometimes getting ‘connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:19001’ using expo start

for me i followed below steps

1. expo start
2. ctrl + c

3.delete .expo folder from your project

4. expo build:android -c

Specific situation but I found out that Laravel Valet running in the background was causing me to consistently get the ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:19001 error.

Running valet stop before expo start seemed to fix it.
