I’ve been stuck on this section for a couple of days… Please advise on what I am doing wrong for Step 3, where we are using the Pressable component to render a blue box if pressed. Right now, it only renders the blue box (instead of red):

import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, View, Pressable } from 'react-native';

const App = (props) => (
  <View style={styles.layout}>
    <Pressable >
      <Box pressed={styles.box, { backgroundColor: styles.box ? 'red' : 'blue' } } />
      </Pressable>
  </View>
);

export default App;

export const Box = (props) => (
  <View style={[styles.box, { backgroundColor: 'blue' }]} />
);

export const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  layout: {
    flex: 1,
    alignItems: 'center', 
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
  box: {
    width: 100,
    height: 100,
    backgroundColor: 'red',
  },
});

I figured it out today… I was interpreting the instructions wrongly. Thank you
