Hello, looks like you found the solution!
Can you close the issue if you done with it?

use !!imageUri &&

Looks like the string it's complaining about is the empty string at imageUri.

The error is intentional; it's not obvious that this is a bug in React Native, and you've found a solution. Seems like the issue should be closed.

Do empty strings still cause this Text strings must be rendered within a <Text> component error message?

I can't seem to reproduce this (on Snack with Expo). The following does not cause crashes:

export default function App() {
  const name = '';
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      {name && <Text>name: {name}</Text>}
      {''}
      <Text>no crashes</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

Seems like they do not cause issues anymore with React Native 0.70.1:

I just started a new React Native app just now (npx react-native init with react-native@0.70.1) to verify this and confirmed empty strings outside of <Text> components do not cause this error:

Whereas a string with content in it does:

Empty strings indeed no longer cause errors (if you use React 18+):

• Empty string without <Text> component does not cause error / crash #35002

Do you still experience this issue?

I have four years of experience maintaining facebook/react-native and I specialize in the Text and TextInput components. I currently have 58 facebook/react-native PRs.

If you still experience this issue, I will prepare a patched release with the fix.

Thanks a lot
