Typing errors everywhere after upgrading to React v18

[firasrg]

Hello community!

I've been using Expo v45, React Native v0.68 and React v17 since May 2022. Today we are planning to upgrade our app to newer versions, it seems the typing has become broken after running the expo upgrade command (which automatically takes care of typing dependencies). I strongly believe that the problem is related to React v18.

So before I say "This is an issue!", I'd say "Maybe you know this already and you can help me to solve it!". Is there anything I can do to fix it ?

I can push an example on GitHub if required.

I need help please 😢

Hi again! after doing some tries, I've came to a very good solution, I guess. I've removed @types/react dependency from my package.json file and used the TS built-in typing module for react apps.

  "compilerOptions": {
    "types": [
      "react"
    ],

And all typing errors are gone 🎉!

I'm still waiting to some people here to listen to their thoughts about this approach or maybe other ones. So I don't consider this discussion closed yet.

thanks
