   }
 }

refer-a-friend.phtml

<div > Hello this is my template. I can do anything inside this file.</div>

I have no idea what I am doing wrong.

Solution

Your path url and your layout file name are incorrect. Your frontName in routers.xml is yx_customer and not customer.

customer_account.xml

 <referenceBlock name="customer_account_navigation">
<block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link\Current" name="refer-a-friend">
  <arguments>
   <argument name="path" xsi:type="string">yx_customer/refer</argument>
   <argument name="label" xsi:type="string">Refer a Friend</argument>
  </arguments>
</block>

And your layout file should be named yx_customer_refer_index.xml
