Description

When upgrading to typesript ~5.4.0 (5.4.5 to be exact), the abp angular project does not compile:

I thinks this is because @abp/ng.core referenced an ancient version of ts-toolbelt which does not work with the new typescript compiler any more.

Hello @hillin may I ask whether you have a specific reason to upgrade the typescript version to 5.4.0? Because, abp 8.1.3 supports 17.1.0 for angular that is compatible with ts 5.3.0. Currently, the library ts-toolbelt is not compatible with that typescript version and this will be fixed for the abp version 8.3.0.

Hi! It's because we are trying to upgrade to Angular 18(rc3), which requires Typescript 5.4+. It's just an experiment and we can definitely wait for ABP 8.3.
