Black screen after modifying index.js

Question

I am following a tutorial online to learn how to use React.

The instructor made me create a project called albums and modify the content of index.

Answer 1

You need to define a background color for you application. You should also import View from react-native

import { AppRegistry, Text, View } from "react-native";

const App = () => {
 return (
   
     Some Text
   
  );
};

The reason that it is black is because the in the AppDelegate.m the rootView backgroundColor has been changed in version 0.58.0

In prior versions it was

rootView.backgroundColor = [[UIColor alloc] initWithRed:1.0f green:1.0f blue:1.0f alpha:1];

It is now the following in 0.58.+

rootView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
