Metro-bundler error: Module `@babel/runtime/helpers/interopRequireDefault` does not exist in the Haste module map

Trying to run the app through xcode (IOS) and metrobundler, I am getting this error

error: bundling failed: Error: Unable to resolve module `@babel/runtime/helpers/interopRequireDefault` from `<rootDir>/index.js`: Module `@babel/runtime/helpers/interopRequireDefault` does not exist in the Haste module mapThis might be related to https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/4968To resolve try the following:  1. Clear watchman watches: `watchman watch-del-all`.  2. Delete the `node_modules` folder: `rm -rf node_modules && npm install`.  3. Reset Metro Bundler cache: `rm -rf /tmp/metro-bundler-cache-*` or `npm start -- --reset-cache`.  4. Remove haste cache: `rm -rf /tmp/haste-map-react-native-packager-*`.    at ModuleResolver.resolveDependency (<rootDir>/node_modules/@react-native-community/cli/node_modules/metro/src/node-haste/DependencyGraph/ModuleResolution.js:183:15)    at ResolutionRequest.resolveDependency (<rootDir>/node_modules/@react-native-community/cli/node_modules/metro/src/node-haste/DependencyGraph/ResolutionRequest.js:52:18)    at DependencyGraph.resolveDependency (<rootDir>/node_modules/@react-native-community/cli/node_modules/metro/src/node-haste/DependencyGraph.js:283:16)    at Object.resolve (<rootDir>/node_modules/@react-native-community/cli/node_modules/metro/src/lib/transformHelpers.js:261:42)    at dependencies.map.result (<rootDir>/node_modules/@react-native-community/cli/node_modules/metro/src/DeltaBundler/traverseDependencies.js:399:31)    at Array.map (<anonymous>)    at resolveDependencies (<rootDir>/node_modules/@react-native-community/cli/node_modules/metro/src/DeltaBundler/traverseDependencies.js:396:18)    at <rootDir>/node_modules/@react-native-community/cli/node_modules/metro/src/DeltaBundler/traverseDependencies.js:269:33    at Generator.next (<anonymous>)    at asyncGeneratorStep (<rootDir>/node_modules/@react-native-community/cli/node_modules/metro/src/DeltaBundler/traverseDependencies.js:87:24) BUNDLE  [ios, dev] ./index.js ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ 0.0% (0/1), failed.

Tried the steps:

1. Clear watchman watches: watchman watch-del-all.
2. Delete the node_modules folder: rm -rf node_modules && npm install.
3. Reset Metro Bundler cache: rm -rf /tmp/metro-bundler-cache-* or npm start -- --reset-cache.
4. Remove haste cache: rm -rf /tmp/haste-map-react-native-packager-*.

npm add @babel/runtimenpm install

Uninstalling watchman

npm add @babel/runtime --save-dev

Added "ignore_dirs": ["node_modules"] in .watchmanconfig

react-native start --reset-cache

Nothing seems to work. And I am stuck with this error. This is my system info:

react-native-cli: 2.0.1,react-native: 0.59.9

watchman --version 4.9.0

"@babel/runtime": "7.0.0","@babel/cli": "7.5.0","@babel/core": "7.5.4"
