I am about to release my iPhone App soon. I used Helvetica, which is included in XCode. I was wondering if I need to pay to use Helvetica. I have an Apple Developer Membership. I so where can I get a license for it. If not, please send me a link to confirm it.

The Apple font, interfaces, content, data, and other materials accompanying this License, whether on disk, print or electronic documentation, in read only memory, or any other media or in any other form, (collectively, the "Apple Font") are licensed, not sold, to you by Apple Inc.
SF Pro is the system font in iOS and iPadOS. iOS and iPadOS apps can also use NY.
You can download fonts from the App Store app , then use them in documents you create on iPhone. After you download an app containing fonts from the App Store, open the app to install the fonts. To manage installed fonts, go to Settings > General, then tap Fonts.
Apple's current default font for Mac and iOS is a sans serif called San Francisco, which is basically an adaptation of Helvetica Neue. Such sans serif fonts, constructed with clear lines that lack the extra filigree of serifs, have been embraced in user interfaces in the digital era.
The fonts are part of the iOS platform. You're not distributing them, you're just using them. Apple is distributing them and they are responsible for paying for licenses and royalties.
This is the same as if you built a podcast app using the built in quicktime player. You wouldn't be responsible for licensing the aac or mp3 decoders.
