ITMS-90853: Invalid font - There was an error validating the font named 'FontAwesome6Free-Solid'...

[kiorq]

Apple is detecting the following error after uploading and submitting builds

ITMS-90853: Invalid font - There was an error validating the font named 'FontAwesome6Free-Solid' at 'LoomLetter.app/assets/node_modules/@expo/vector-icons/build/vendor/react-native-vector-icons/Fonts/FontAwesome6_Solid.ttf'. ‘glyf’ table instructions.

I'm not sure, i've tried updating everything and cannot seem to figure out what is wrong. This blocks submitting apps to the App Store

Same issue, using @expo/vector-icons: 14.0.2.

[Sun-Woo-Kim]

I don't know why, but It was resolved by downgrading the version.
Try to use the version below until the issue is resolved.

@expo/vector-icons: 13.0.0

same error

If you're an ejected app and don't actually use any of the FontAwesome fonts in your code, you can use this patch-package file to get around the issue until there's an official fix. It deletes the font files and repoints the FontAwesome package imports to use Feather.ttf for now. FontAwesome fonts won't work with this change.

put it in a file like this: [project-folder]/patches/@expo+vector-icons+14.0.2.patch and re-run npm install.

As a fix, i've just switch to react native sf symbol package, removing expo vector icons completely, but will leave the issues open since this is a real issue.

[zachkamran]

Any updates here this is a pretty big issue since the icon package is not removable. Happy to help fix if anyone has any ideas.

oblador/react-native-vector-icons#1658 (comment)

[kiorq]

Closing since this seemed to be resolved over at #1658

[Armster15]

I'd say keep the issue open because the react-native-vector-icons version hasn't been updated yet in this library and the process for doing so seems quite complex: https://github.com/expo/vector-icons?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-upgrade-the-react-native-vector-icons-version

[julian-gargicevich]

It shouldn't be closed if it's not fixed

[hainsdominic]

@kiorq please re-open, this is preventing everyone from submitting to App Store.

[kiorq]

Reopening for others. I'm unsubscribing from updates on this issue since I removed the package entirely from my app.

[aledebla03]

Any update?
