In my MacApp I am using custom fonts. These fonts are stored in /Resourcese/Fonts folder and Copy phase is written for the same.

I noticed that, if I have used these fonts in Xib and I run the app from Xcode. UI does not show up these fonts unless it is installed in Font Book.

However, same build if I have published to AppStore and I download from AppStore, custom fonts does show up.

My question is that why does Custom font not show up while we run through Xcode?

Suppose you are copying the custom fonts to the Bundle's Resources folder directly (without subfolder), add the key "Application fonts resource path" to your Info.plist with empty value. Please check if this solves the problem.

It did not work for me and I solved it using "PostScript name" that can be obtained by installing the font on the mac and obtaining information specifically about the font in question in "Font Book"

If none of the above helps, try to delete "Fonts provided by application" row from info.plist and add it again, but select from dropdown menu now. It happens that you could misprint when was entering that row's name previously.

It happened with me as well on Xcode 15.4. I tried all the solutions listed above plus other solutions mentioned on developer forum. At the end the best workaround to solve this issue was to add fonts using @IBInspectable
