Bug: Next.js 15 & React 19 incompatibility

[thejustinwalsh]

Current Behavior

Next.js 15 is using React 19.0.0-rc when you use the app folder, and all versions of @pixi/react are using internal api's that break in React 19.

See:

• Compatibility issue: Next.js 15 and React Three Fiber - TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'ReactCurrentOwner') vercel/next.js#71836
• Breaking changes in React experimental branch pmndrs/react-three-fiber#3222

Expected Behavior

@pixi/react v7 may need to it's peer dependencies updated to limit the range of react it is compatible with. i.e. 17-18
@pixi/react v8 should likely support React 18 & 19

Steps to Reproduce

Create a @pixi/react app using Next.js 15 and use the app router.
-or-
Create a @pixi/react app using React 19.

Environment

• @pixi/react version: >=7.1.2
• pixi.js version: >=7.4.2
• React version: >=19.0.0-rc
• ReactDOM version: >=19.0.0-rc

Possible Solution

pmndrs/react-three-fiber#3222 (comment)

Additional Information

Temporary workaround: downgrade to Next@^14.2.16.

I've been dreading this. I'm not sure it's going to be possible to support both versions of React with a single version of the lib. This is deffo on my radar, tho.
