I am getting a typescript error when I try to use GooglePhotosPicker according to the documentation

.use(GooglePhotosPicker, {  
companionUrl: companionUrl,  
clientId: ‘From Google Developer Console’,  
})  
the error–

Argument of type ‘typeof GooglePhotosPicker’ is not assignable to parameter of type ‘{ new (uppy: Uppy\<Meta, Record\<string, never\>\>, opts?: any): BasePlugin\<any, Meta, Record\<string, never\>, Record\<string, unknown\>\>; prototype: BasePlugin\<…\>; }’.

I encountered this too and opened the following issue to flag it: [GooglePhotosPicker causing Typescript 2345 error, "Types of parameters 'uppy' and 'uppy' are incompatible." · Issue #5547 · transloadit/uppy · GitHub](https://github.com/transloadit/uppy/issues/5547)

I wonder - is anyone using GooglePhotosPicker successfully in current latest version? @yoslupa did you find a solution?
