TypeScript errors: Text cannot be used as JSX component / styled(Text) type mismatch #4871
Description
Current behaviour
We started encountering TypeScript errors after upgrading react-native-paper to the latest version (v5.15.0).
Running bun run tsc:check fails with 54 TypeScript errors across 22 files.
The errors are consistently related to usage of Text components—both when used directly in JSX and when wrapped with styled(Text).
TypeScript compilation fails.
- Text cannot be used as a JSX component
error TS2786: 'Text' cannot be used as a JSX component.
Its return type 'ReactNode' is not a valid JSX element.
- styled(Text) type incompatibility
error TS2345: Argument of type 'TextComponent<never>' is not assignable to parameter of type 'NativeTarget' | 'WebTarget'.
Expected behaviour
How to reproduce?
bun run tsc:check
