react-native-vector-icons: Unrecognized font

So We have seen this issue time and time again and the docs are very explicit on how to get it to work, how ever my question for you is: is this an error with React native or you? because at this point I have followed all your instructions to a T, which you can see in this issue I raised with React Native, 8051.

Its pretty straight forward, if I run the application with the run button the fonts are added and life is grand. if I use their command to run the application: react-native run-ios then the fonts are missing and all hell breaks loose.

Can any one confirm or deny that this isn’t me?

A mixture of following

watchman watch-del-all
rm -rf node_modules && npm install
rnpm link
npm start -- --reset-cache
react-native run-ios

and then following

https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/linking-libraries-ios.html

got it working for me. I suspect that maybe the rnpm does something that the manual instructions does not.

This is not a bug with this project, however try to clean the build folder with rm -rf ./ios/build

Hey,

You could try this:

stop node server
start node server
react-native run-ios
Command + R (in simulator)

Worked for me.

Happens to me to. Fresh install and then “rnpm link” reproduces.
