Description

1. yarn add react-native-vector-icons
2. Added pod 'RNVectorIcons', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons' to Podfileandpod update` has been runned
3. All is working now, but I see warning after react-native run-ios:

React Native CLI uses autolinking for native dependencies, but the following modules are linked manually:

• react-native-vector-icons (to unlink run: “react-native unlink react-native-vector-icons”) This is likely happening when upgrading React Native from below 0.60 to 0.60 or above. Going forward, you can unlink this dependency via “react-native unlink <dependency>” and it will be included in your app automatically. If a library isn’t compatible with autolinking, disregard this message and notify the library maintainers.

Want to say again, it’s not break app work.

Is it expected warning or I did something wrong?

Thanks.

You don’t need add entry of library inside the pod file. Just follow these steps.

1. yarn add react-native-vector-icons
2. cd pod and pod install
3. Then inside info.plist add property Fonts provided by application Like described here https://github.com/oblador/react-native-vector-icons#option-manually
4. then react-native run-ios That’s it. Warning will go away.

@websitedesignanddeveloper and all, yarn add react-native-vector-icons However, if I did not link “react-native link react-native-vector-icons” Icons will not display, however, App is working fine. but if I link with “react-native link react-native-vector-icons” Icons will display and App work fine but I received this warning error. error React Native CLI uses autolinking for native dependencies, but the following modules are linked manually:

I followed the second method from the documentation, and It really helpful The instructions as follow : (It from official documentation

Android Option: With Gradle (recommended)

This method has the advantage of fonts being copied from this module at build time so that the fonts and JS are always in sync, making upgrades painless.

Edit android/app/build.gradle ( NOT android/build.gradle ) and add the following:

apply from: “…/…/node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/fonts.gradle”
