• react native vector icons: latest

Description

In debug/development everything works fine. Icons show as usual. But once I build the app for release/production, the Icons don’t show up. Not even question-mark boxes.

(Bottom bar should be Icons)

I have auto-linked the library, but specified only “MaterialCommunityIcons” in my Info.plist, because that’s the only set I use. Do I still have to leave all of them in there?

~Also, I have called Icon.loadFont() at the entry point. (top of App.tsx)~ <-- Not required, as I’m not using use_frameworks! in my Podfile.

@r0stig do you still have to do those steps in >0.60 with autolinking?

I’m using 0.63.2 and I had to add that line in build.gradle after updating to 7.0.0 for all icons to work.

just add apply from: “…/…/node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/fonts.gradle” in the bottom off android/app/build.gradle ( NOT android/build.gradle ) then sync again the project and icon will show correctly
