import { Container, Header, Content, Icon } from 'native-base';
export default class IconExample extends Component {
  render() {
    return (

        <Header />
        <Content>

node =>   v12.16.3
npm => 6.14.4

Finally got to the bottom of this, the issue was because of the font families not being available in the iOS project. Even though the libraries are auto-linked in React Native >= 0.60 the fonts are still missing and have to be manually added to the iOS project. Here’s how to do that

• Go to the info.plist file located in [project_root] > ios > [project_name] > info.plist. It’s an XML type file
• Add the following code. Make sure to not add it between any existing node

  <key>UIAppFonts</key>
  <array>
    <string>AntDesign.ttf</string>
    <string>Entypo.ttf</string>
    <string>EvilIcons.ttf</string>
    <string>Feather.ttf</string>
    <string>FontAwesome.ttf</string>
    <string>FontAwesome5_Brands.ttf</string>
    <string>FontAwesome5_Regular.ttf</string>
    <string>FontAwesome5_Solid.ttf</string>
    <string>Foundation.ttf</string>
    <string>Ionicons.ttf</string>
    <string>MaterialIcons.ttf</string>
    <string>MaterialCommunityIcons.ttf</string>
    <string>SimpleLineIcons.ttf</string>
    <string>Octicons.ttf</string>
    <string>Zocial.ttf</string>
    <string>Fontisto.ttf</string>
  </array>
