Tailwind styles not applied after deployed on Netlify - reactjs

Question

I'm trying to deploy my react-app to netlify. But the tailwindCSS doesn't seem working.
I have no error message or anything, so have no clue which way to go. Deployment was successful. I was checking all the answers here and other forums, but nothing solved my problem.
Tried different builds, and pushing different settings, but just got a plain HTML page without styles.
My package.json

Answer 1

So after trying all day long. Somehow I made it up and running. I made multiple changes on netlify in the build process, and also changed craco.config.js and tailwind.config.js, until I successed and deployed.
What worked for me, and hopefully some of you will may find it useful is the tailwind.config.js
I changed the module.exports.purge to:
module.exports = {
purge: [
"./src/components/**/*.{js,jsx}",
"./public/index.html",
],
...
}
and on the Netlify build settings:
Publish Directory: build
