- Wrapping the image in a
<View>with a fixedheightand/orlineHeight - Wrapping the Image in another
<Text>with a fixedheightand/orlineHeight - Wrapping the image in another
<Text>with lineHeight set toundefinedornull
Expected behaviour:
To be able to nest images in Text with a non-default lineHeight.
(Please let me know if any more details are required for this issue. Thanks!)

export default function App() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>

Hello
<Image style={styles.image} source={require('./assets/snack-icon.png')} />

Research direction
Start with the App component and styles in the supplied Expo Snack and alternative reproducer, then compare the layout with and without a non-default lineHeight on iOS and Android. Done means an Image nested in Text remains within the parent container when lineHeight is specified on both platforms.
