Static return type is PHP 8 feature but you are on PHP 7.4.

Set PHP version you expect to use in production in composer.json. It will ensure Composer will install libraries accordingly to that PHP version instead of your current PHP version

{
	"config": {
		"platform": {
			"php": "7.4.29"
		}
	}
}

Thank you guys, config.platform.php in composer solved my problem. I didn't know is that important :)
