Description

I've been trying to upgrade to FontAwsome5Pro, but I keep getting " unrecognized 'FontAwsome5Pro-Regular' "

I did the following:

1-upgraded to pro as the FontAwsome5Pro README suggest

2-executed "react-native link" 3-add Fonts group to Xcode

4-added font to "copy build phase/copy bundle resources"

5-added new fonts to info.plist

and still getting "unrecognized 'FontAwsome5Pro-Regular' " error

I ran into the same issue today. Running fc-scan on the pro font files returned this:

postscriptname: "FontAwesome6Pro-Regular"(s)

... which looks suspicious. Any chance the upgrade script is pulling the latest version of FA (version 6) instead of 5? Replacing the ttf files with an older copy of "real" FontAwesome5 pro ttf files fixed the issue for me 👍

@Maddoc42 exactly I installed the font without the package and used it with the name as 'Font Awesome 6 Pro Solid' and it worked. In the end, I switched to 'react-native-fontawesome'

If anyone still has this issue,

1. npm uninstall react-native-vector-icons
2. Delete the Fonts folder from XCode project
3. Follow all the installation steps again (You may not need to update info.plist if you're using iOS)
