That looks like your UserService is not annotated to return the correct type of object. You can either change the return from that method or update UserService
I was able to find a solution here
so any one might face the same issue may change the code as follows:
get appUser$(): Observable<AppUser> {
return this.user$
.pipe(switchMap( (user: firebase.User) => this.userService.get(user.uid).valueChanges()));
}
