Maybe I'm being snooty but font awesome sort of feels like a lot of work to me. I would have made a beeline to sketch app resources. Also I think that they didn't really cover what a treasure trove sketch app resources really is.
I think this would have been a great time to make the input fields into a symbol.
Also why not mention that sketch comes with an android sticker sheet by default?

Especially when branded icons are not important, like internal corporate tools. It's best to use design with the tools your developers will eventually use so there is less translation between mock up and code.
Not sure if this answers your question, but it is why I almost always use, or at least start with, FontAwesome as an icon library source.
