Running app.py from the auto-instrumentation exercise doesn't run on a MAC. Port 5000 is already taken by a system process

[ChPfisterer]

As described in the title, I was not able to run the Lesson 6 Lab, exercise 1 (Instrumentation of the Python (Flask) Component (1)).
The reason seems to be that a system process already takes the default port 5000.

Workaround: change the port to anything not used yet.
Changes I made to file automatic-instrumentation/todoui-flask/app.py:

# ...
if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=5002)
    # app.run(debug=True) # doesn't work with auto instrumentation

Oh, I didn't encounter the problem on my M2 Mac. Thanks for the hint. An alternative approach is to disable AirDrop System Settings > General > AirDrop & Handoff > AirPlay Receiver

Ran into same issue on my Intel MacBook Pro. Disabling AirDrop as per @JenSeReal 's suggestion helped to get back into the lesson.
