Today I updated to React Native Version 0.65.1.
After that I was unable to Start the Metro Server

I am now receiving following error message while building a Release .apk:

    node_modules/metro/src/Server.js:350

  processRequest = (req, res, next) => {

                 ^

I've tried:

• Updating Node


• Cleaning Project


• Restarting Computer

This is the snippet from the Metro Server Node Module

processRequest = (req, res, next) => {

    this._processRequest(req, res, next).catch(next);

  };

Additional Information:
I am using a MacBook Pro with macOS Big Sur 11.5.2

Thanks everyone
