Tagging @parasharrajat since he worked on this. I'm pretty sure the default text is Loading PDF... from the documentation so if we don't see it in the Android platform it might be that they didn't implement it for mobile ? We never explicitly specify the text ourselves.

Issue reproducible during KI retests

Bump to @parasharrajat otherwise this might be a :donothing: since it's at the library level.

@Dal-Papa Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[parasharrajat]

@Dal-Papa Sorry for catching up late here.
We can update this if you want.

On native, we have a prop activityIndicator which can be set as activityIndicator={<Text>Loading PDF…</Text>} to match the web.

Also, We can change both native and web to show the same loading indicator if Loading PDF… is not friendly.
For example,

• showing our FullScreenLoadingIndicator for native
  activityIndicator={<FullScreenLoadingIndicator visible />}
• showing our FullScreenLoadingIndicator for web.
  loading={<FullScreenLoadingIndicator visible />}

Awesome, thanks for the pointers @parasharrajat !
