Pandas version checks

  • [X] I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • [X] I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • [x] I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

df = pd.DataFrame([[4, 9]] * 3, columns=['A', 'B'])
res1 = df.groupby('A', as_index=False).apply(lambda x: x)
print("result of index name attribute with data", res1.index.names)

df = pd.DataFrame([], columns=['A', 'B'])
res2 = df.groupby('A', as_index=False).apply(lambda x: x)
print("result of index name attribute with empty data", res2.index.names)
print(f"pandas version :{pd.__version__}")

Issue Description

The parameter “as_index=False” is not valid when the source DataFrame is empty. examples: result of index name attribute with data : [None] result of index name attribute with empty data : ['A'] pandas version :1.3.4

result of index name attribute with data : [None] result of index name attribute with empty data : ['A'] pandas version :1.4.3

Expected Behavior

when set “as_index=False” ,the names of index attribute of the result should be [None]
