failed to add. react-native-vector-icons

Question

W trying to add react-native-vector-icons into my app.

This is what I'm doing:

1. yarn add react-native-vector-icons

2. react-native link react-native-vector-icons

3. Open Xcode project and create new group inside the root called Files.

4. Into the files folder I paste all fonts inside node_modules/react-native-vector-itens

5. And add this rows into info.plist file:

   <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>SimpleLineIcons.ttf</string>
           <string>Zocial.ttf</string>
       </array>
   

6. cd ios -> pod install.

7. yarn ios

8. I got this exception for each added font:

   Build system information
   error: Multiple commands produce '/Users/flavio.luiz/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/grdiariesapp-glxxnoufhzcqqqehxmwglijwtgap/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/grdiariesapp.app/FontAwesome5_Brands.ttf':

   2) That command depends on command in Target 'grdiariesapp' (project 'grdiariesapp'): script phase “[CP] Copy Pods Resources”
   

Can anyone help?

Answer 1

For versions < 0.60 you should put the files manually.

Version > 0.60 autolinking will do the job so in your case you duplicate it so just delete the files you intrudoce and all will work as expected.
