Why isn't my Antdesign Icon appearing on screen? - react-native

Question

Hello, I am having trouble with my AntDesign Icon appearing on the screen the only thing that does pop up is just an X I am using react-native-vector-icons/AntDesign. If somebody can please show me how I can have my Icons show up on my screen it would be greatly appreciated!
import React, { useContext, useRef, useState } from "react"; // we are importing the react library and the useContext hook from react and we are importing the Context from the global context file
import { Context } from "../globalContext/globalContext.js"
import AntDesign from 'react-native-vector-icons/AntDesign';
import FontAwesome from 'react-native-vector-icons/FontAwesome';
import FontAwesome5 from 'react-native-vector-icons/FontAwesome5';
import Sound from 'react-native-sound';
import Video from 'react-native-video';
import { Button, Input, Image, Tile } from 'react-native-elements';
import LottieView from 'lottie-react-native';
import {
SafeAreaView,
StyleSheet,
Text,
View,
//Image,
ImageBackground,
Animated,
StatusBar,
TouchableOpacity,
Pressable,
Alert,
} from 'react-native';
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<StatusBar barStyle="light-content" />
<LottieView style={styles.lottie} source={require('C:/Users/Raffp/Desktop/React Native Projects/React_Native_FoodApp3/CheeseBurgerApp/assets/imgs/59677-fast-food.json')} autoPlay loop />
<View style={styles.header}>
<Text style={styles.text_header}>Pristine Burgers</Text><FontAwesome5 name="hotdog" size={50} color="gold" />
</View>
<View style={styles.footer}>
<Animated.View style={[styles.textWrapper, animatedStyles]}>
<Text style={styles.text_footer}>Take More Then Just Bite</Text>
</Animated.View>
<Pressable
style={styles.button}
onPress={() => {
textAnimation();
setTimeout(() => {
navigation.navigate('');
}, 1000);
}}
>
<Text style={styles.text_footer}>Yum!</Text>
<AntDesign name="arrowright" size={24} color="white" />
</Pressable>
</View>
</View>
);
}
X Appearing on the screen instead of
the icon?

I find that I run into issues like this when I miss a step when installing the package. You could try redoing the additional installation steps for your platform. See the documentation for iOS installation and Android installation.
