OTF fonts in iOS

I don't have any issues with adding TTF fonts in the "copy files" section. They should up in the simulator when I ask for the fontnames.

Not so with OTF fonts. I know that iOS accepts them....am I missing a particular step? I could use Font Foundry to convert but I'd rather not if there's a simpler way.

No resolution since 2014, I assume I should just change the extension then?

Well, just changing the extension would be more efficient for now I think :)

For sure!

However I just tried that and it did not work. :(

I found that simply changing the extension only worked for a few fonts. A better solution: This website will convert the font file:
