2. Following that, use your mouse cursor to draw the frame anywhere around the canvas.

7. Next, click the 'Icon Name' field and type the name of the icon you wish to use. After that, find and select it from the suggested results.
8. Grab the icon and drag it to your desired position. Repeat the same series of steps if you wish to add more.
9. At this point, it's time to design the actual interface of the application. To get started, go back to the bottom section and use the provided options to add various elements. For instance, you may insert shapes, texts, images, and the like.
10. One by one, arrange the position of the assets accordingly. At the same time, make all the necessary adjustments based on your preferences.

12. Tap the 'Present' button afterwards to view and check the app design.
13. After completing these steps, the design of your app will be created based on your input. Check it very well and make revisions if necessary. Otherwise, you can proceed to the next part of the app design by following the same series of steps.
