I think this is some sort of error that only occurs on old android devices. I vaguely remember something similar when running on an old 4.4 device. At the time, the app seemed to recover on it's own so it didn't seem important/urgent.

IllegalViewOperationException: Trying to add unknown view tag #2892

Specifically:

It seems Android doesn't like converting non-Boolean values into booleans. So I'm now ensuring that all values which I'm using as booleans are in fact, booleans.

I have changed all occurrences similar to this where foo may not be true or false:

{foo && <MyComponent />}

…into one of these which converts foo into a boolean if it is not:

{!!foo && <MyComponent />}
{Boolean(foo) && <MyComponent />}

Just in case someone else lands here and none of the above works I will add what worked for me.
I had the same error and started removing lines until it didn't happen anymore. Lo and behold - the last line I deleted was <View> <MyComponent /> </View> Did you notice the spaces surrounding MyComponent? It was a Homer moment for me
