React Native ActivityIndicator not displaying

Question

Packages that am using:

"@react-native-community/datetimepicker": "^2.6.0",
"@react-native-community/masked-view": "^0.1.10",
"@react-native-firebase/app": "^8.2.0",
"@react-native-firebase/auth": "^8.2.0",
"@react-navigation/drawer": "^5.8.5",
"@react-navigation/native": "^5.7.0",

"react-native-gesture-handler": "^1.6.1",
"react-native-razorpay": "^2.1.35",

"react-native-safe-area-context": "^3.1.1",
"react-native-screens": "^2.9.0",
"react-native-vector-icons": "^7.0.0"

And my ActivityIndicator is placed inside a screen component like this:

import React from 'react'
import { View, Text, ActivityIndicator, StyleSheet, Image } from 'react-native'
   

export default function Loading({navigation}) {
       
    return (
        <View style={styles.container}>
            <Image
                style={styles.main_logo}
                source={require('../assets/logo.png')}
            />
            <Text style={styles.loading_text}>...Loading...</Text>
            <ActivityIndicator animating={true} size="large" style={{opacity:1}}  />
            
        </View>
    )
    
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
    backgroundColor: 'red'
  },

  main_logo : {
    width: 100,
    height: 53,
    marginBottom: 20
  },

  loading_text : {
      color: 'white'
  },

  
})

The problem is, it doesn't show the ActivityIndicator. Everything else is appearing. Tested both in real mobile device (Redmi Note 7 Pro) and Android Emulator. Seems to be transparent.

Any fix for this?

Be sure to give the ActivityIndicator a color. For example:

<ActivityIndicator size="large" color="#0000ff" />
