Typescript errors TS2345 on update method

Yes

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe your environment

• Operating System version: Ubuntu 22.04
• Firebase SDK version: 11.11.0
• Firebase Product: firebase-admin
• Node.js version: 18
• NPM version: 9.7.2

[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

DocumentSnapshot or DocumentReference update method can't be used with typed interfaces. I get the following typescript error

TS2345: Argument of type  MyInterface  is not assignable to parameter of type

{ [x: string]: any; } & AddPrefixToKeys<string, any>

Relevant Code:

Calls like this will get errors:

const data = snapshot.data() as MyInterface;
db.collection(`anypath`).doc(id).update(data)

Quick workaround would be to cast it as any

db.collection(`anypath`).doc(id).update(data as any)

But it would require to refactor every update call which can be painful for large projects.
