You absolutely don't need to pay the $100 license fee to develop for iOS. That fee is just required for distribution



and to receive push notifications...


Push notifications on iOS are delivered through Apple's servers, so that makes sense.


And use certain APIs, like loading fonts…


You certainly are able to load fonts on a self signed app, don't know where you got that information from.


We got a pull request from someone to enable the fonts entitlement, except they couldn't test it because it costed them money to do so. You can see so yourself here: https://help.apple.com/developer-account/#/dev21218dfd6


That is a permission to install a font system wide, not the same thing


No, it isn't. To be able to access certain user-provided fonts, you need that entitlement.
