It's not obvious from the docs above but this class is apparently available only within a mobile project. The page does say "The IconItemRenderer class is a performant item renderer optimized for mobile devices" but, to me, that implies that it will also work on non-mobile projects. But it won't compile. However, it appears you can work around the problem by adding mobilecomponents.swc and mobile.swc to your build paths.
