Folder Structure of the Project

Here I share you the folder structure of the project

1. src - Here src is the main folder All our work is inside this folder
2. assets - inside this folder all the images are in the 'image' folder and the icons are in icons folder
3. component - this folder is for component
4. Screens - this folder contains all the main screen

Replace provided images

To change image for your app go to {project-folder} and then navigate to this folder: 'src/assets/images' and find these image files which are in .PNG format

Create new svg icon

If you need any icon for this application then first crop or download an image with (.svg format) then keep the image inside '{project-folder}/src/assets/icons/files' folder and then add this image inside '{project-folder}/src/assets/icons/index.ts' this file

I am adding screenshot here for better understanding

1. place the downloaded .svg format image here
2. Inside this index.ts file add this image for making icon path
3. Take a look How the iconpath is created, do the same way to create the icon

for IOS - open terminal > run

yarn react-native-vector-image generate

Now close the Metro and rebuild your app again
