Icons showing when using expo start but not on eas build

[LBlend]

As the title says when I run the app using expo run the icons are displayed correctly. However whenever I try to build an APK using eas build my icons disappear.

After searching around for a bit this does not seem like an uncommon issue. I have tried applying the fixes proposed but to no avail.

Some fixes I've tried applying (I don't remember all of them anymore since I've basically tried everything)

@LBlend In my case, Icons are not showing again since my last update of XCode 16 with sdk 51.0.34 react-native 0.74.5 and expo/vector-icons 14.0.2 with bare project. We need a clear path when upgrading SDK, and please expo bot stop closing issues. FYI I had to get rid of expo-icons on one of my app because it's impossible to have a clear way to use it. On another app, I had to patch it (https://github.com/expo/vector-icons/issues/303). As you stated, this has been open for years and nobody cares (the bot close as "we want a reproducible repo" ...)
