   Client Library

2. Did someone already solve this?
   no

3. Do you have a support contract?

Environment details

• OS:
• Node.js version:
• npm version:
• @google-cloud/pubsub version: 4.8.0

Steps to reproduce

1. Use typescript version 5.6.3
2. Notice that for the pubSubClient.publishMessage method it asks for a Uint8Array and says that a buffer is not assignable to type Uint8Array or string or blah blah.
