TypeScript errors on Firebase Admin v12.0.0

[petrvecera]

After update to firebase admin 12.0.0. we are unable to build any of our Firebase functions projects. We don't have problems on 11.11.1. As reported here on the forums #2411

The typescript errors come from inside the firebase libraries.

Env:

• Node 20
• Windows & Mac
• TypeScript 5.3.3
