Description

expo/vector-icons doesn't play nicely with TabBarIOS because 1) we don't recommend using it, JS solution is cross-platform and more customizable 2) we don't want to add the native module necessary to make it play nicely to Exponent.

So we should make it very clear whenever someone tries this that it will not work
