I've been using Sketches default iOS UI library, which uses Apple's SF font. I already have a version of the SF font, but it doesn't seem to be the same one Sketch defaults to. I'm sick of getting the missing font notification, anyone know where to download the right version?

Sounds like you already figured this out, but this is one of the top google results so I figured I'd post more links.
Apple used to provide the SF font to anyone as normal font download, but now they only allow it as a .pkg installer supposedly just for developers. Even as a developer, I had this issue:

"The San Francisco Pro Fonts installer does not allow its software to be installed here.

LINK TO GITHUB SFUIDisplay and SFUIText fonts: github.com/AppleDesignResources/SanFranciscoFont
HOWEVER!!! While these are the exact same fonts, the names are written in full. For example:
Instead of SFUIDisplay-Heavy the name is SanFranciscoDisplay-Heavy

After installing, I still had to re-assign in sketch to use "SanFranciscoDisplay-Heavy" in place of "SFUIDisplay-Heavy"

Sounds like you already had that figured out, sorry can't get you better solution, but even though it's annoying, at least this works.

The only way to download Apple's San Francisco font is from the Apple developer website:

developer.apple.com/fonts/

The font isn't licensed for any general use at all. Only paid members of Apple's developer program are allowed to download it and are only allowed to use it for screen mockups, nothing more.

If you aren't an Apple developer you're out of luck. You could get someone who is an Apple developer to download it for you (but that would be against the license too). There are other (non-official) versions out there, but as you have seen you'll get missing font notifications and have to replace the font, which isn't ideal.
