I am in a situation where a required dependencies (UI library that is managed by a client) requires an old version of React. The required React version is ^16.8 but the current React version is 18.2.0. I am aware this is annoying but I have no control over the UI library.
What is the best way to have it worked well with create-next-app?
I have read up and the most common solution is to run the create-next-app and then to manually downgrade react and react-dom but I am aware the next dependency might not well as expected.

looks like nextjs v10 was the final version that supports react 16.8
time to just ask them to upgrade their react version

yeah, I though so, I have found the manual installation and would just have to install v10
they do have a public repo, could help them
thanks for your help!
