NavigationContainer: initialRouteName: Issue with TypeScript

[acarlstein]

Summary

Following the documentation provided, I see that there is an issue when setting the property initialRouteName to the NavigationContainer tag.

Computer: Mac OS 14.1 (23B74)
Editor: VSCode using React Native Tools by Microsoft.

Description

package.json dependencies:

"dependencies": {
    "@react-navigation/native": "^6.1.9",
    "@react-navigation/native-stack": "^6.9.17",
    "@react-navigation/stack": "^6.3.20",
    "react": "18.2.0",
    "react-native": "0.72.6",
    "react-native-gesture-handler": "^2.13.4",
    "react-native-safe-area-context": "^4.7.4",
    "react-native-screens": "^3.27.0",
  },

App.js:

/**
 * Sample React Native App
 * https://github.com/facebook/react-native
 *
 * @format
 */

import * as React from 'react';
import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createNativeStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/native-stack';
import Home from './views/Home'

const Stack = createNativeStackNavigator();

function App(): JSX.Element {
  return (
    <NavigationContainer initialRouteName="Home">
      <Stack.Navigator>
        <Stack.Screen name="Home" component={Home} />
      </Stack.Navigator>
    </NavigationContainer>
  );
}

export default App;

VSCode Error Popup:

Type '{ children: Element; initialRouteName: string; }' is not assignable to type 'IntrinsicAttributes & NavigationContainerProps & { theme?: Theme | undefined; linking?: LinkingOptions<RootParamList> | undefined; fallback?: ReactNode; documentTitle?: DocumentTitleOptions | undefined; onReady?: (() => void) | undefined; } & { ...; }'.
  Property 'initialRouteName' does not exist on type 'IntrinsicAttributes & NavigationContainerProps & { theme?: Theme | undefined; linking?: LinkingOptions<RootParamList> | undefined; fallback?: ReactNode; documentTitle?: DocumentTitleOptions | undefined; onReady?: (() => void) | undefined; } & { ...; }'.ts(2322)
