title: React Native project, sometimes getting 'connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:19001' using expo start
body: <p>I'm using <code>expo-cli</code> 2.6.14, <code>react-native</code> 0.57.1, Expo SDK 31.0.0. In order to start the project to run on the Expo app, I use <code>expo start</code>. Sometimes it works, sometimes I get an error and I have no idea why. If I just keep running <code>expo start</code> over and over again, eventually it will work, but that's a lot of wasted time.</p>
  
  <p>This is the error that I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Could not get status from Metro bundler. connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:19001
  Connecting to Metro bundler failed.
  Set EXPO_DEBUG=true in your env to view the stack trace.
  error Command failed with exit code 1.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm not sure why this happens. I've been ignoring it since it doesn't happen consistently, but it's become a nuisance. Any thoughts on what the issue might be?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: This is a <a href="https://github.com/expo/expo-cli/issues/52" rel="noreferrer">known issue</a> that still has not been fixed.</p>
  
  <p>Edit 2: Still occurring with <code>expo-cli</code> 2.12.2, and Expo SDK 33.0.0</p>
