React Native vector icons: why is `back_arrow` failing to render?

Question

I'm using react-native-vector-icons in my React Native app, and have the following component:

<Icon
  name='rowing'
/>

I used the rowing icon because that was the first example in the documentation here. When you don't supply a value for type, it defaults to material, so I figured I could replace rowing with any of the material icons from this list. When I replaced it with back_arrow, it renders as a question mark. Does anyone know how I can approach debugging this?

If you are using an ejected project make sure that you bundle the library correctly in the android studio here are the full instructions

Otherwise, if you are using expo make sure to use the correct library: Expo lib
