"ITMS-90853: Invalid font" on TestFlight review

[CreatlV]

Environment

react-native-icons 10.1.0 react-native 0.73.2

Description

All new builds sent for external review on TestFlight are immediately auto rejected as an invalid binary with the error message: "ITMS-90853: Invalid font - There was a error validating the font named 'FontAwesome6Free-Solid' at '(package-name-here)/FontAwesome6_Solid.ttf'. 'glyf' table instructions."

Happy for any guidance on what could be causing this!

Same Problem here, fix would be much appreciated :)

ITMS-90853: Invalid font - There was an error validating the font named 'FontAwesome6Free-Solid' at 'AppName.app/FontAwesome6_Solid.ttf'. ‘glyf’ table instructions.

We were not actually using FontAwesome6 so a workaround for us that appear to be passing the immediate testflight rejection was adding the following to the end of podfile post_install for every target.

resources_script_path = "#{Pod::Config.instance.installation_root}/Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-(AppName)/Pods-(AppName)-resources.sh"
    if File.exist?(resources_script_path)
      resources_content = File.read(resources_script_path)
      updated_content = resources_content.lines.reject { |line| line.include?('Fonts/FontAwesome6_') }.join
      File.open(resources_script_path, "w") { |file| file.puts updated_content }
      puts "Removed FontAwesome6 references"
    end

We don't need the FontAwesome, so I created a PatchPackage without it. Should help us for now.

Can you share that patch

Can you share that patch

Delete the FontAwesome6-Files in node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/Fonts and then run "yarn patch-package react-native-vector-icons"

Thanks, and do I need to delete FontAwesome6 files from the node_module/react-native-vector-icons ? as there are aslo FontAwesome6 files outside the node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/Fonts folder

Deleting the Files in the Fonts-Directory should be enough

This appears to be related to the new Font Menu functionality in iOS 18. I'm assuming things changed in the backend when the iPhone 16 was announced.

While we don't use this package, we do use font awesome.

[blumk]

Opening FontAwesome6_Solid.ttf on macOS shows the same error, you can manually fix the error and create a patch-package.

[RayHughes]

@blumk patching will remove FA, cause we depend on it.

[blumk]

@RayHughes You can simply replace the invalid FontAwesome6_Solid.ttf file with a fixed file and then create a patch-package (instead of deleting the file). FontAwesome6_Solid.ttf.zip

[ben-edge]

Same issue here - we are using the icons from FA6 so this is currently blocking us from uploading new builds.

[iit2008047]

Same here .. can some one please update the font and release a version. Thanks again

Here is the PR fixing the ttf file: https://github.com/oblador/react-native-vector-icons/pull/1660

[cvincentcoleman]

Having this issue as well. Replacing with a patch package didn't work for me

[blumk]

@cvincentcoleman Try adding a postinstall step to copy/replace the font file using https://github.com/webextensions/copy-files-from-to

Example: package.json

  "postinstall": "npx --yes copy-files-from-to",
  "copyFiles": [
    {
      "from": "node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/Fonts/FontAwesome6_Regular.ttf",
      "to": "node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/Fonts/FontAwesome6_Solid.ttf"
    },
    {
      "from": "node_modules/@expo/vector-icons/build/vendor/react-native-vector-icons/Fonts/FontAwesome6_Regular.ttf",
      "to": "node_modules/@expo/vector-icons/build/vendor/react-native-vector-icons/Fonts/FontAwesome6_Solid.ttf"
    }
  ],
    "copyFilesSettings": {
    "whenFileExists": "overwrite"
  }
