Error running 'wipe iOS Pods folder': Too many open files in system

[schumannd]

Maybe the script needs to take it slow when the project is big?

Same error occurs in the next step:

Error running 'wipe iOS build artifacts': rm: fts_read: Too many open files in system

Hi @schumannd do you still have this problem?

[mikehardy]

I was having lots of problems related to file handles on a couple of macs under my care but not on the others. In the end it turned out I had watchman installed on some (the ones that worked) and was missing it on the ones that did not work. I have a convergence script that does brew install watchman now and everything works.

May not be a fix but perhaps checking for watchman or recommending it on this error might serve as good enough?

Otherwise since those are all combos of rm and getconf I'm not sure how to reduce file handle count during the operation

I also have the same issue, but watchman is installed.

Seems like this is outside the scope of this lib, since it's not really responsible for that. As @mikehardy mentioned and also mentioned in facebook/create-react-app#4540 (comment) . What I can do is add a Troubleshoot section in the readme, if there's demand for it.
