Support React 18 Types

[Tony-Starkus]

So, after upgrading my React Native project to version 0.69.1 with React 18, the component Picker.Item started raise error.

'Picker.Item' cannot be used as a JSX component.
  Its element type 'ReactElement<any, any> | Component<PickerItemProps<T>, any, any> | null' is not a valid JSX element.
    Type 'Component<PickerItemProps<T>, any, any>' is not assignable to type 'Element | ElementClass | null'.
      Type 'Component<PickerItemProps<T>, any, any>' is not assignable to type 'ElementClass'.
        The types returned by 'render()' are incompatible between these types.
          Type 'React.ReactNode' is not assignable to type 'import("/home/thalisson/Documents/Git/CryptoView/frontend/node_modules/@types/styled-components/node_modules/@types/react/index").ReactNode'.ts(2786)

This one is pretty critical as Expo 46 upgraded to a react-native version without its own picker, but also needs React 18 so you can't install react-native-picker/picker.

bump, how is this one going? tried to use npm i --force but bound to meet with further issues ahead

Same. Updated to Expo 46 and get peer dependency issues with the test renderer.

looks really nice but wont install with latest version of expo installed w/ React 18.

[serfgy]

just to share my workaround, am using expo 46

in my package.json i used npm 8 new function 'overrides'

"overrides": { "@react-native-picker/picker": { "react-native-webview": "^11.23.0" }, },

installation and runtime turned out fine

Can i pay someone to please fix this? We have wasted a week trying to build our own picker for expo 46.

I'm having the same issue. Any estimate when this might get fixed?

@xpario

• Uninstall the library
• Reinstall it with the command 'npm install @react-native-picker/picker --legacy-peer-deps'

This will allow you to continue using this lib while they're updating it to React 18. Keep in mind that you'll need to add this flag everytime you 'npm install' because it will need to be reminded that this library should be allowed to use React 17.

This isn't working for me.

Any update on this?

I was having a similar issue with my project and i find the following solution with help of my terminal:

Some dependencies are incompatible with the installed expo version: @react-native-picker/picker@2.4.8 - expected version: 2.4.2 Your project may not work correctly until you install the correct versions of the packages. Install individual packages by running npx expo install @react-native-picker/picker@2.4.2

However the npx expo install @react-native-picker/picker@2.4.2 wouldn't solve. I manage to find the solution via another issue page thanks to @amandeepmittal. Here

Writing this has solved my problem: npm install @react-native-picker/picker@2.4.2 --legacy-peer-deps

You can add it in a .npmrc file that will be used during the build by Expo, with the following : legacy-peer-deps=true
