Parameter on `AppType` is used incorrectly | GoodFirstPicks

Parameter on `AppType` is used incorrectly

Why this is a good first issue

TypeScript types do not correctly reflect runtime behavior for `AppType` parameters.

AI Summary

The issue involves incorrect TypeScript type application for `AppType` parameters, where `props.pageProps` is incorrectly typed instead of `props`. The fix requires aligning TypeScript types with runtime behavior, but the maintainer has indicated that `pageProps` should remain a property of `props`, suggesting a nuanced understanding of Next.js internals is needed.

Issue Description

Verify canary release

  • I verified that the issue exists in the latest Next.js canary release

Provide environment information

warn  - Latest canary version not detected, detected: "13.0.3-canary.4", newest: "13.0.3".
        Please try the latest canary version (`npm install next@canary`) to confirm the issue still exists before creating a new issue.

Done in 0.84s.

Note: warning at the end seems to be because I'm using next@canary (as instructed) but canary version is older than latest official release. My issue is present in either version.

Describe the Bug

Prop types defined by the parameter on AppType are incorrectly applied to MyApp's props.pageProps instead of MyApp's props.

Expected Behavior

Expected TS types to correctly reflect runtime types.

Link to reproduction

https://codesandbox.io/s/polished-tree-xhvisb?file=/pages/_app.tsx

To Reproduce

  1. Open the link to reproduction
  2. Observe code on left (with TS errors) and the produced page on right.

There's a TS error on line 13, complaining Property 'foo' does not exist on type 'AppPropsType<any, MyInitialProps>', even though props.foo does exist at runtime.

Also, there's no TS error on line 14, even though props.pageProps.foo does not exist at runtime.
