Describe the Problem

When trying to use the toEvmAddress function from the AbstractAddress type, TypeScript throws an error because the function is not defined in the type. This issue occurs during the import process and prevents proper usage of the function in TypeScript.

Thank you for reporting this @xlzy905.

@FuelLabs/sdk-ts since the deprecation of bech32, is AbstractAddress redundant now? The hinting here is frustrating.

I believe it's due to cross-package dependencies. If we redistribute these interfaces to their appropriate packages, then I believe we could potentially remove the @fuel-ts/interfaces package altogether.

@xlzy905 in the meantime, a workaround would be to do the following:

import { Address } from 'fuels';

// Should have full access to all address methods from here.
const address = Address.fromAddressOrString(myWallet.address);
address.toEvmAddress();

Apologies for this inconvenience.

Okay. Thank you for your answer
