Newbie needs help! iOS icon not showing properly in Live View on Adobe XD app.

So this is not an issue on preview mode in Adobe XD. However, the icons that I used from the iOS UI Elements download from the Adobe XD UI Kits do not show up on Live View using the Adobe XD app on iPhone. Any ideas of why this might be? 😞

 

 

Any help would be highly appreciated as I don't want to redo all the icons.

Thanks so much!

I changed it from SF(San Fransico) Pro Text to SF Compact Display.  The fonts can be downloaded from the Apple Website,

Just right click on the icon, choose Path -> Convert to path, so the icon will be convert into path, so they can be viewed on real device.
