[BUG] - I'm having an issue with...

[Bilal-Abdeen]

Describe the bug
I am trying to install this wonderful library on an iOS machine (10.15.5.) I got the error messages below.

When installing on MS Windows 10, the installation finishes successfully. It gives a warning about the presence of a new version of react-native-vector-icons than required. However, it works fine.

Error:

npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! While resolving: <MyProjectName>
npm ERR! Found: react-native-vector-icons@8.1.0

To Reproduce
npm install --save react-native-vector-icons
npm install --save react-native-numeric-input

Enviorment:

• Version: the latest vesrion, which is available through the install command above - I suppose it is 1.8.3
• React Native version: 0.64.2
• Device: iOS simulator 14.4
• Development Platform: iOS 10.15.5

Additional Information
As the error message says, react-native-vector-icons version 8.1.0 is installed. I tried to install an earlier version 4.6.0. I got error messages regarding the dependency for other libraries, i.e. react-native-elements.

This maybe a temporary solution but go ahead and try installing the lib with the --legacy-peer-deps option. This means there's no need to downgrade the vector icon lib. This solved the same issue for me
