Typescript type definitions missing for react-native > 0.67.7

Description

Since upgrading to latest Expo SDK 45 our application is on react-native@0.68.2. Trying to upgrade @types/react-native too, I found out that the latest type definitions published is 0.67.7.

We experience some type warnings in IDEs and hope that these result from this version mismatch. In any case, having both react-native and @types/react-native in the same package versions should help to avoid people getting confused.

Version

0.68.2

(run in a monorepo in an Expo project, it seems the output does not really resemble the reality)

👋 just writing a comment to clarify that I’m trying to get someone to properly own and drive the @types/react-native situation but until then, basically noone is currently in charge of them 🥲

What you could do is go over the DefinitelyTyped repo and submit a PR to get the new version of the types to get created (akin to https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/pull/59641).

I’m sorry that the situation is the way it is right now, and I hope I’ll be able to provide an update with some good news in the near future 🤞
