[TRPC or Prisma or React Native issue?] Do not know how to serialize a BigInt

I og started a thread on the TRPC discord but am also posting here to see if anyone else has a better solution for this issue. I am trying to figure out exactly where this issue originated from. OG link: https://discord.com/channels/867764511159091230/1110257286707937380/1110257286707937380 I am calling a trpc query in a component based on a currently selected item in a flatlist, and getting error:
TypeError: Do not know how to serialize a BigInt

The component code:
import React, { useState, useRef, FC } from "react";
... other imports

import { trpc } from "../../../utils/trpc";

interface CourseComponentProps {
data?: DataItem[];

type DataItem = {

onPress: () => void;
};

const Item = ({ item, onPress }: ItemProps) => (
<TouchableOpacity
className="bg-blueGray-300 border-1 justify-center p-3"
onPress={onPress}
>
<Text className="text-blueGray-800">{item.post_title}</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
);

export const CourseComponent: FC<CourseComponentProps> = ({ data }) => {
const video = React.useRef(null);
const [currentItem, setCurrentItem] = React.useState<DataItem>();

const { data: videoData, error } = trpc.lesson.videoUri.useQuery(
currentItem?.ID as bigint,
{
enabled: !!currentItem?.ID,
},
);

if (error) {
// Handle error
return <View>Error: {error.message}</View>;
}

const metaValue = videoData?.meta_value;
console.log("metaValue", metaValue);
console.log("currentItemId", currentItem?.ID);

const renderItem = ({ item }: { item: DataItem }) => {
return <Item item={item} onPress={() => setCurrentItem(item)} />;

the lesson router:

videoUri: publicProcedure.input(z.bigint()).query(({ ctx, input }) => {
return ctx.prisma.wp_postmeta.findFirst({
where: {
post_id: input, // Change the post_id value here
meta_key: "app_video_uri", // Replace "video_uri" with the actual meta_key for the meta_value you want to retrieve

the database wp_postmeta table:

my packages/api/src/trpc.ts file with the superjson transformer:
import { initTRPC, TRPCError } from "@trpc/server";
import { type Context } from "./context";
import superjson from "superjson";

const t = initTRPC.context<Context>().create({
transformer: superjson,
errorFormatter({ shape }) {
return shape;
},
});

const isAuthed = t.middleware(({ next, ctx }) => {
if (!ctx.auth.userId) {
throw new TRPCError({ code: "UNAUTHORIZED", message: "Not authenticated" });
}
return next({
ctx: {
auth: ctx.auth,

});
});

export const router = t.router;
export const publicProcedure = t.procedure;
export const protectedProcedure = t.procedure.use(isAuthed);
import { initTRPC, TRPCError } from "@trpc/server";
import { type Context } from "./context";
import superjson from "superjson";

const t = initTRPC.context<Context>().create({

});

const isAuthed = t.middleware(({ next, ctx }) => {
if (!ctx.auth.userId) {
throw new TRPCError({ code: "UNAUTHORIZED", message: "Not authenticated" });

return next({
ctx: {
auth: ctx.auth,
},
});
});

export const router = t.router;
export const publicProcedure = t.procedure;
export const protectedProcedure = t.procedure.use(isAuthed);
the error only goes away when i add this code to the top of my component file:
// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any
(BigInt.prototype as any).toJSON = function () {
return Number(this);
};
// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any
(BigInt.prototype as any).toJSON = function () {
return Number(this);
};

Did you found a way to fix this? I've got this too. create-t3-app use superjson by default, I don't know why trpc throw this error
