Description

I am moving my app to a monorepo to enable code sharing in multiple apps. After the refactoring, the icons are no longer resolved on Android. The icons are resolved correctly on iOS. I have updated the android/app/build.gradle to point to the right gradle file for the fonts as below

apply from: "../../../../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/fonts.gradle"

I think the issue is that it is not able to find the fonts file and require some tweaking with some configuration to point to the right font files for Android.

Need to update the location in the fonts.gradle file as well to point to the right .ttf files.

Ran into this issue today, on RNVI 8.0.0.

I solved it by upgrading to RNVI 9.2.0 and changing my android/app/build.gradle like so:

project.ext.vectoricons = [
+   iconFontsDir: "../../../../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/Fonts",
    iconFontNames: ['Feather.ttf', 'FontAwesome.ttf'] // Name of the font files you want to copy
]

- apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/fonts.gradle"
+ apply from: "../../../../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/fonts.gradle"
