When trying to build an app, I see an error coming from the node\_modules in regards to apollo-client Error: node\_modules/@apollo/client/cache/core/types/common.d.ts:52:110 - error TS1005: ‘?’ expected. Typescript version : 4.6.4" “@apollo/client”: “^3.0.0” There were no updates made to these versions of late, so not sure what could be causing this. ---

Could you please check which exact version of Apollo Client you are using? `^3.0.0` describes a very large range of different Apollo Client versions. ---

I have a similar issue with apollo/client on my angular application. It stopped working without any changes made on modules. Error: node\_modules/@apollo/client/cache/core/types/common.d.ts:52:110 - error TS1005: ‘?’ expected. My typescript version is “typescript”: “~4.0.2” “apollo-angular”: “^2.4.0”, “@apollo/client”: “^3.3.18”, ---

@tinyikosnr if you write `^3.3.18` in your package.json, that allows your package manager to randomly choose one of the following versions: - `3.3.18` - `3.3.19` - `3.3.20` - `3.3.21` - `3.4.0` - `3.4.1` - `3.4.2` - `3.4.3` - `3.4.4` - `3.4.5` - `3.4.6` - `3.4.7` - `3.4.8` - `3.4.9` - `3.4.10` - `3.4.11` - `3.4.12` - `3.4.13` - `3.4.14` - `3.4.15` - `3.4.16` - `3.4.17` - `3.5.0` - `3.5.1` - `3.5.2` - `3.5.3` - `3.5.4` - `3.5.5` - `3.5.6` - `3.5.7` - `3.5.8` - `3.5.9` - `3.5.10` - `3.6.0` - `3.6.1` - `3.6.2` - `3.6.3` - `3.6.4` - `3.6.5` - `3.6.6` - `3.6.7` - `3.6.8` - `3.6.9` - `3.6.10` - `3.7.0` - `3.7.1` - `3.7.2` - `3.7.3` - `3.7.4` - `3.7.5` - `3.7.6` - `3.7.7` - `3.7.8` - `3.7.9` - `3.7.10` - `3.7.11` - `3.7.12` - `3.7.13` - `3.7.14` - `3.7.15` - `3.7.16` - `3.7.17` - `3.8.0` - `3.8.1` - `3.8.2` - `3.8.3` - `3.8.4` - `3.8.5` - `3.8.6` As a result, I can’t tell which version you are actually using in your application. You can try out this behaviour on [this page](https://semver.npmjs.com/) That said, I can pinpoint your error now: your version of TypeScript is very outdated and doesn’t support the TypeScript syntax we are using by now anymore. Please upgrade to at least TypeScript version 4.8 or enable the `skipLibCheck` option in your `tsconfig.json` (in some edge case scenarios the AC types will behave weird to you though, if you choose that option). ---
