I'm trying to use Ionicons on react-native app using expo, unfortunately the icon is not showing and the following error is received:
fontFamily "ionicons" is not a system font and has not been loaded through Font.loadAsync.
If you intended to use a system font, make sure you typed the name correctly and that it is supported by your device operating system.
If this is a custom font, be sure to load it with Font.loadAsync.
I'm using Iocincons in the following way:
import { Ionicons } from '@expo/vector-icons';
....
<Ionicons name="arrow-back" size={24} color="black" />
In addition, this is my package.json file:
{
"main": "node_modules/expo/AppEntry.js",
"scripts": {
"start": "expo start",
"android": "expo start --android",
"ios": "expo start --ios",

},

},
"devDependencies": {
"@babel/core": "^7.13.15"
},

}
I've already tried to remove node_modules, package-lock.json, and run npm install, but it didn't solved the problem.
Any idea will be appreciated.
