I can't get my custom fonts to work with Xamarin.Forms

I created this resource:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Application xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml" x:Class="CustomFrameApp.App">
    <Application.Resources>
        <ResourceDictionary>
            <OnPlatform x:TypeArguments="x:String" x:Key="NewFont">
                <On Platform="iOS" Value="Camber_Medium_Regular" />
            </OnPlatform>
        </ResourceDictionary>
    </Application.Resources> </Application>

added to info.plist

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>UIAppFonts</key>
    <array>
        <string>Camber_Medium_Regular.otf</string>
    </array>
</dict>
</plist>

and used in my XAML

<Label FontSize="12px" Text="ABCD" TextColor="Black" VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="Center" FontFamily="{StaticResource NewFont}" />

But the fonts are still not being used

I added them as bundle resource as suggested and they are in the resource file of iOS

Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong?

According to Fonts in Xamarin.Forms, please confirm three things:

  1. If you have added font file tat called Camber_Medium_Regular.ttf in Resource file , and Build Action:BundleResource

2.Update the Info.plist, like this:

    <key>UIAppFonts</key>
<array>
    <string>Camber_Medium_Regular.ttf</string>
</array>

3.Refer to it by name

<OnPlatform x:TypeArguments="x:String">
                <On Platform="iOS" Value="Camber_Medium_Regular" />
                <On Platform="Android" Value="Lobster-Regular.ttf#Lobster-Regular" />
                <On Platform="UWP" Value="Assets/Fonts/Lobster-Regular.ttf#Lobster" />
            </OnPlatform>
