Kivymd App on Android has different colour icons to my Mac

I compiled the KivyMD app I've been coding onto my phone and I had to specify in the buildozer.spec requirements to use sdl2_ttf==2.0.15 for the MD icons to actually appear. However, all the icons are fully white even though they have a text colour set to 0, 0, 0, 1:

MDFloatingActionButton:
    icon: 'plus-circle-outline'
    elevation_normal: 10
    user_font_size: '20sp'
    text_color: 0, 0, 0, 1
    md_bg_color: 1, 1, 1, 1
    pos_hint: {'center_x': 0.8, 'y': 0.03}
    on_release: app.CreateNewWorkout_1_Dialog()

On my Mac:

On my phone:

It also changes some of the text on buttons and in MDTextFields. I thought it had something to do with the sdl2_ttf==2.0.15 and tried other versions but the icons would only appear on this version. Any help would be much appreciated!

Because when compiling, you are using the KivyMD library from the PyPi and not from the master branch.

This is a bug in the library. Do not use the value 0, 0, 0, 1. If you need a black icon color, you can set the value to 0, 0, 0, 0.9:

MDFloatingActionButton:
    text_color: 0, 0, 0, .9
    md_bg_color: 1, 1, 1, 1
    pos_hint: {'center_x': 0.8, 'y': 0.5}
