Custom Fonts on iPhone stop working

  1. SDK Version: SDK 40
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): iOS

I have a custom font that is loaded with Fonts.loadAsync behind a SpashScreen.

The font works correctly in the simulator for Android and iOS.

After deploying to TestFlight, the font works … for a few minutes. It then suddenly reverts to a system font. No amount of re-installing through TestFlight resolves the issue.

Google Play internal test apps work perfectly.

Did I miss something because I’m at a loss for where to go from here.

The closest Forum item seems to have happened after a publish. My app has received no updates and yet the font seems to “fail”.

this is the only time i’ve ever heard of such a thing happening - you’ll need to share a reproducible example for us to be able to help. also, run expo diagnostics in your project and share the result
