I’ve been trying to add react-native-vector-icons in my project recently using react-native 0.63.4. However when I build the project I got this from the terminal when I ran this terminal command npx react-native run-ios and the error/warning are as follows:

** BUILD FAILED **


The following build commands failed:
    CompileC /Users/newuser/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/numbers-dwsoqoxfvlhqaegkspswqexutfzn/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Pods.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/Flipper.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/FlipperRSocketResponder.o /Users/newuser/workspace/programming/mobile/numbers/ios/Pods/Flipper/xplat/Flipper/FlipperRSocketResponder.cpp normal x86_64 c++ com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler
(1 failure)

I further tried to build with Xcode but I got this from it:

/Users/newuser/workspace/libevent/event.h:44:10: 'event2/event-config.h' file not found

I’ve tried pod install & pod update still the app won’t build.

I found a solution please for this link: Solution

(Edit)

i ran into this,
you should troubleshoot your installation common problem is not having fonts in infoplist
check your infoplist
it needs to have

<key>UIAppFonts</key>
<array>
    <string>AntDesign.ttf</string>
    <string>Entypo.ttf</string>
    <string>EvilIcons.ttf</string>
    <string>Feather.ttf</string>
    <string>FontAwesome.ttf</string>
    <string>FontAwesome5_Brands.ttf</string>
    <string>FontAwesome5_Regular.ttf</string>
    <string>FontAwesome5_Solid.ttf</string>
    <string>Fontisto.ttf</string>
    <string>Foundation.ttf</string>
    <string>Ionicons.ttf</string>
    <string>MaterialCommunityIcons.ttf</string>
    <string>MaterialIcons.ttf</string>
    <string>Octicons.ttf</string>
    <string>SimpleLineIcons.ttf</string>
    <string>Zocial.ttf</string>
    <string>icomoon.ttf</string>
</array>

if not run

react-native link react-native-vector-icons

another solution is to use legacy build system from

workspace settings -> build system -> legacy build system

another thing is

If you are using use_frameworks! in your Podfile you instead need to
dynamically load the icon font by doing Icon.loadFont() when
boostrapping your application.
