Icons do not show in APK when building using Expo EAS

[DianaLaa]

I've upgraded from SDK 44 to SDK 46. On SDK 44 my APK was fine.

After upgrading to SDK 46, when testing the app using Expo Go (expo start) all icons show correctly. However, after building with Expo EAS to an APK, no icons show. We use both <MaterialCommunityIcons> and <Ionicons> but none show after building the APK.

I don't know if it is related, but I had to exclude expo-file-system to get the EAS build to run.
(expo/expo#15632 (comment))
I didn't see any other people reporting that this change would break icons, so I think it's not related, but am including it here for completeness.
