I saw several messages about how to setup the fonts. I guess the documentation is deprecated, it still mentions that the user needs to put the font in the app directly… but the error message I’m getting on Android with my Expo app points toward some download/caching process.

 

When I try to display my paywall on my android emulator, the log get “Unable to create cache directory for remote fonts” and the app crashes. The emulator might have a low free memory.

 

Is there anything specific (like a permission to grant) to get this fixed on Android? Or is it only the emulator memory that I should flush? If it’s the memory issue, I think some users with low end devices might get an abrupt crash as well.

Edit: I can’t reproduce it every time, so that seems to be a memory issue.
