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

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
