Hello,

I’m getting an Unhandled Promise Rejection when I attempt to use the library ‘@expo/vector-icons’, causing the icons to not load. Has anyone ran into this issue? How did you resolve it?

Here’s the warning:

` [Unhandled promise rejection: Error: Directory for 'file:///Users/<USER>/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/C490C616-BC39-471F-9882-6F216E8ADD32/data/Containers/Data/Application/6E4FCA03-4015-452A-911E-DDFA135D0370/Library/Caches/ExponentExperienceData/%2540<USER>%252Fdonewithit/ExponentAsset-6a2ddad1092a0a1c326b6d0e738e682b.ttf'doesn't exist.

The promise rejection indicates the import of the vector icons library is not working. Check that you’ve get the library added to your project, and verify that your import statement is correct in your component. It should be:  
import { MaterialCommunityIcons } from “@expo/vector-icons”;
