I have a react native application and in the application, I am trying to call Feather from react-native-vector-icons. When i make the call, I get the following error:

[Unhandled promise rejection: Error: Directory for 'file:///Users/omarjandali/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/B09B927C-6596-4403-B931-0C83395BA279/data/Containers/Data/Application/5F76B516-64FE-45C5-8F6D-FA6448DC62BB/Library/Caches/ExponentExperienceData/%2540ohmarj%252Fryppe/ExponentAsset-a76d309774d33d9856f650bed4292a23.ttf' doesn't exist.

I deleted the node_modules folder and reran npm install with the same issue.

I tried everything to fix the issue but I can not figure out this issue.

Here is where I call it:

import React from 'react'
import {View, Text} from 'react-native'

import Icon from 'react-native-vector-icons/Feather'

const HomeScreen = () => {
  return (
    <View><Text>Home Screen</Text><Icon name={"home"} color={'#454545'} size={28} /></View>
  )
}

export default HomeScreen

Here is my package.json

{
  "name": "ryppe",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "expo start",

    "react-native-webview": "11.18.1"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@babel/core": "^7.12.9"
  },
  "private": true
}

The package is not working but I have no idea why and it is causing issues with my react native application

——-UPDATE———–

command to build applcation:
npx create-expo-app ryppe

here is my package.json file:

  1. try :

    ...
    import { Feather } from '@expo/vector-icons';
    
    const HomeScreen = () => {   
    return (     
    <View>
    <Text>Home Screen</Text>
    
    <Icon name={"home"} color={'black'} size={28} />
    
    <Feather name="home" size={24} color="black" />
    
    </View>   
    )}
    

    in package.json

    change "react-native": "0.68.2" to "react-native": "0.69.6",
    then run yarn

  2. Had the same problem. It’s just about your package.json dependencies.
    try to use this helper to fix your package.json :

    https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.64.2&to=0.68.1
