Inconsistent TypeScript behavior with optional arguments in useNavigation

When using the useNavigation hook from @react-navigation/native in TypeScript, optional arguments are not being correctly inferred and produce a type error.

Expected Behavior:

Optional arguments should be correctly inferred and not produce a type error.

Actual Behavior:

Optional arguments produce a type error, requiring the use of the // @ts-ignore comment to suppress the error.

Steps to Reproduce:

• Use the useNavigation hook with an optional argument.
• Attempt to pass a string value as the optional argument.
• Observe the type error.

import { useNavigation } from '@react-navigation/native';

const navigation = useNavigation();

const navigate = (screenName?: string) => {
  // Argument of type 'string' is not assignable to parameter of type 'never'
  navigation.navigate(screenName)
  // Workaround with // @ts-ignore
  // @ts-ignore
  navigation.navigate(screenName)
}

Commencez par reproduire l’erreur TypeScript dans l’exemple useNavigation de l’issue, puis examinez le point d’entrée de useNavigation et ses définitions de types dans @react-navigation/native. Le travail est terminé lorsqu’un argument string facultatif est accepté sans nécessiter de commentaire @ts-ignore, tout en conservant un typage correct de la navigation.
