It's supposed to display an icon and text

It’s supposed to display a text and an icon but it’s not working

>Solution :

In AppIconText widget, the Container widget being returned has both color and decoration defined. This is not allowed as stated in the error message. A container should either have a color or decoration or none. You can not have both color and decoration on a container. This is because a box decoration itself has a color property. If you are using a decoration, you should use this property to assign color to the Container.

Container(
    padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(
    vertical: AppLayout.getWidth(12),
    horizontal: AppLayout.getHeight(12)),
    decoration: BoxDecoration(
        borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(AppLayout.getWidth(10)),
        color: Colors.white,
    ),
    ......
);

Just move the color property inside the BoxDecoration and it will work.
