Description

Autolinking not working in RN 0.61.5 - I get the error on load of render of Unrecognized font family 'FontAwesome'

Reproducible Demo

Let us know how to reproduce the issue. Include a code sample, share a project, or share an app that reproduces the issue using https://snack.expo.io/. Please follow the guidelines for providing a MCVE: https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve

1. npx react-native init icontest
2. cd icontest
3. npm i react-native-vector-icons
4. npx react-native start
5. npx react-native run-ios
6. As it loads you will see red screen with this error. Also you see in CLI:

error Could not find the following native modules: RNVectorIcons. Did you forget to run "pod install" ?

If it was autolinked, we wouldn’t need to run pod install right?

Found the solution for iOS, you need to add this into your info.plist <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>Fontisto.ttf</string> <string>Foundation.ttf</string> <string>Ionicons.ttf</string> <string>MaterialCommunityIcons.ttf</string> <string>MaterialIcons.ttf</string> <string>Octicons.ttf</string> <string>Roboto_medium.ttf</string> <string>Roboto.ttf</string> <string>rubicon-icon-font.ttf</string> <string>SimpleLineIcons.ttf</string> <string>Zocial.ttf</string> </array>

for android, you need to add fonts in android/app/src/main/assets folder link to download the fonts : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1eK37W0iN3I0HVdOBwYMyKNs54w-MrLyp
