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
