Tab Header Icons Not Showing

[Louai99k]

Current behaviour

Tabs are not showing icons after migrating react-native-vector-icons to the newer version @react-native-vector-icons/material-design-icons especially since the newer version of react-native-paper use it

Expected behaviour

It should support both versions depending on what the user is using

How to reproduce?

Just migrate react-native-vector-icons to @react-native-vector-icons/material-design-icons and the icons will disappear

Preview

What have you tried so far?

I've tried to change the MaterialCommunityIcon.tsx component to import the newer icons package version if the older one does not exist

Your Environment

software	version
react-native	0.79.2
react-native-paper	5.14.5
node	18.19.2
expo sdk	No expo

same here after switching to the new @react-native-vector-icons

Maybe use the expo variant of icons?
