Hello there, I was wondering whether or not you are allowed to use SF Symbols in a design report. The design report will be made on Adobe Indesign software. Any symbols will be referenced to Apple Inc.
The use of SF Symbols
IMHO, answer is no.
SF symbols are strictly copyrighted. You can't even use them in your app logo.
IMPORTANT All SF Symbols shall be considered to be system-provided images as defined in the Xcode and Apple SDKs license agreements and are subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. You may not use SF Symbols — or glyphs that are substantially or confusingly similar — in your app icons, logos, or any other trademark-related use. Apple reserves the right to review and, in its sole discretion, require modification or discontinuance of use of any Symbol used in violation of the foregoing restrictions, and you agree to promptly comply with any such request.
However, if you have a user manual of your app, which legally uses SF symbols, it should be authorized to show screen shots that contain SF symbols.
