      <Drawer.Screen name="Profile" component={ProfileScreen} />
    </Drawer.Navigator>
  );
}

const Drawer = createDrawerNavigator();

function HomeScreen() {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Text>Home Screen</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

function ProfileScreen() {

    </View>
  );
}

export default function App() {
  return (
    <Drawer.Navigator>
      <Drawer.Screen name="Home" component={HomeScreen} />
      <Drawer.Screen name="Profile" component={ProfileScreen} />
    </Drawer.Navigator>

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