TypeScript support is broken starting from the `13.8.3` version

[anton-patrushev]

Bug description: Both the latest (at the moment) 13.8.4 and 13.8.3 versions have broken TypeScript support. Props are not typified on these versions.

To Reproduce:

install 13.8.4 or 13.8.3 into TS configured project

yarn add react-native-webview@13.8.4

// OR

yarn add react-native-webview@13.8.3

I noticed that it doesn't have .d.ts files for each js file under node_modules/react-native-webview/lib/ folder

Here is what it looks like on 13.8.4

And it leads to issues like this:

Expected behavior:

It should have working TS support. So it should have TS support for WebView props.

Screenshot from the 13.8.2 version:

I believe it should have .d.ts file for each file under node_modules/react-native-webview/lib/ folder:

Screenshot from the 13.8.2version:

Environment:

• OS: iOS (local machine — MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1)
• OS version: iOS 17.4
• react-native version: 0.72.12 (Fabric enabled)
• react-native-webview version: 13.8.4

I see types are moved to /index.d.ts ( better approach imho) , but index.d.ts is referencing ./lib/WebViewTypes which are pure js files without any type info. probably some ts build config issue, i am looking into permanent fix , meanwhile you can try below patch

diff --git a/node_modules/react-native-webview/index.d.ts b/node_modules/react-native-webview/index.d.ts

-export { FileDownload, WebViewMessageEvent, WebViewNavigation } from "./lib/WebViewTypes";
+export { FileDownload, WebViewMessageEvent, WebViewNavigation } from "./src/WebViewTypes";

 export type WebViewProps = IOSWebViewProps & AndroidWebViewProps & WindowsWebViewProps;
