navigation stack not displaying

Question

i have my react native code, and im trying to add navigation to it, but its showing blank, if i try to console log anything in the stack the console log shows but the screens itself doesn't show, this is my screen:

import React, { useEffect, useState, useRef } from "react";
import { NavigationContainer } from "@react-navigation/native";
import { createNativeStackNavigator } from "@react-navigation/native-stack";
import "react-native-gesture-handler";

import BottomTabNavigator from "./BottomTabNavigator";
import ContinueScreen from "../screens/ContinueScreen";

const Stack = createNativeStackNavigator();

function MainStack() {
  console.log("jk");
  return (
    <NavigationContainer>
      <Stack.Navigator initialRouteName="ContinueScreen">
        <Stack.Screen name="ContinueScreen" component={ContinueScreen} />
        <Stack.Screen
          name="BottomTabNavigator"
          component={BottomTabNavigator}
        />
      </Stack.Navigator>
    </NavigationContainer>
  );
}

export default MainStack;

my package.json:

{
  "name": "app",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "expo start",
    "android": "expo start --android",
    "ios": "expo start --ios",
    "web": "expo start --web"
  },
  "dependencies": {

    "tailwindcss": "^3.3.2",
    "typescript": "^4.9.4"
  },
  "private": true
}

how can I get the screen to show? if I also add the screen ContinueScreen in the app.tsx it shows without any issues, but if i add it in the MainSTack it doesn't show.

my app.tsx:

import { StatusBar } from 'expo-status-bar';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
// import tw from 'tailwind-react-native-classnames';
import OnboradingScreen from './app/screens/OnboradingScreen';
import ContinueScreen from './app/screens/ContinueScreen';
import BottomTabNavigator from './app/stacks/BottomTabNavigator';
import MainStack from './app/stacks/MainStack';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <View>
     {/* <OnboradingScreen /> */}
     <MainStack/>
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  // container: {
  //   flex: 1,
  //   backgroundColor: '#fff',
  //   alignItems: 'center',
  //   justifyContent: 'center',
  // },
});

It seems like a style issue. Can you add flex: 1 to View component?

<View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
 <MainStack/>
</View>
