TypeScript error when using a signal inside a React Native `<Text>` component

[elliotwaite]

When I try to use a signal as a child of a React Native <Text> component, it works, but I get the following TypeScript errors. Is there a way to make TypeScript allow the use of signals inside <Text> components?

This is the error when <Text> contains only a signal:

const count = signal(0)

export function Component() {
  return <Text>{count}</Text>
               ^^^^^^^
    TS2769: No overload matches this call.
      Overload 1 of 2, '(props: TextProps | Readonly<TextProps>): Text', gave the following error.
        Type 'Signal<number>' is not assignable to type 'ReactNode'.
      Overload 2 of 2, '(props: TextProps, context: any): Text', gave the following error.
        Type 'Signal<number>' is not assignable to type 'ReactNode'.

}

This is the error when <Text> contains both text and a signal:

const count = signal(0)

export function Component() {
  return <Text>Count: {count}</Text>
          ^^^^
    TS2746: This JSX tag's 'children' prop expects a single child of type 'ReactNode', but multiple children were provided.

I solved it patching react-native typings
