Unable to add custom fonts to Xcode 14.2 – Ios swift

I’m unable to get any custom fonts working based on the instructions in Apple’s docs and stack overflow answers. Here is my setup that I would expect to work:

1) When copying font files into project:

2) Font .ttf files are added to project

3) Target membership is selected

4) Font names added to UIAppFonts in info.plist

    <key>UIAppFonts</key>
    <array>
        <String>SourceSerifPro-Black.ttf</String>
        <String>SourceSerifPro-BlackItalic.ttf</String>
        <String>SourceSerifPro-Bold.ttf</String>
        <String>SourceSerifPro-BoldItalic.ttf</String>
        <String>SourceSerifPro-ExtraLight.ttf</String>
        <String>SourceSerifPro-ExtraLightItalic.ttf</String>
        <String>SourceSerifPro-Italic.ttf</String>
        <String>SourceSerifPro-Light.ttf</String>
        <String>SourceSerifPro-LightItalic.ttf</String>
        <String>SourceSerifPro-Regular.ttf</String>
        <String>SourceSerifPro-SemiBold.ttf</String>
        <String>SourceSerifPro-SemiBoldItalic.ttf</String>
    </array>

5) Fonts are present under Copy Bundle Resources

enter image description here

6) All system fonts are logged, but new fonts are not found

for family in UIFont.familyNames.sorted() {
    let names = UIFont.fontNames(forFamilyName: family)
    print("Family: (family) Font names: (names)")
}

7) Tried using the font but only seeing the default font

Text("Test text")
  .font(.custom("SourceSerifPro-Regular", size: 20))

I’ve also erased and restarted the simulator and restart my computer and Xcode multiple times. Any idea what else I may be missing?

    I had ran into similar problem. Try calling this function once before using any custom font.

    private func registerCustomFonts() {
    let fonts = Bundle.main.urls(forResourcesWithExtension: "ttf", subdirectory: nil)
    fonts?.forEach { url in
        CTFontManagerRegisterFontsForURL(url as CFURL, .process, nil)
    }
}

    Adding custom font to Xcode 13+

    Do take note. I made the mistake not adding the extension.ttf so it didn’t import. But otherwise it should.
