Bundle Expo Icons for Offline Apps

Hey, I just noticed that the expo icons on offline (at least on iOS) not showing up. What about also bundling the used icons with the application.

indeed using

assetBundlePatterns

would resolve this issue, or caching as described in docs.

i'd suggest adding the following to your app.json:

"assetBundlePatterns": [ "**/*" ],

Thanks, didn't think to check if assetBundlePatterns would handle this with that pattern, I'm assuming it won't bundle the whole icon set, just the ones I'm using right?

Brent Vatne

Burak Tokak: this is incorrect. icon sets are font files, and there is no automated way to split up font files into smaller font files that only include the subset of the glyphs that you use

Burak Tokak

Brent Vatne: Thanks, got it.

Yes, that's a interesting one, officially you can try this https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/guides/offline-support.html
assetBundlePatterns
 should help for you assets.
But the default icon from the expo does not included yet...
