An official TrueType version was never made, and Kare's San Francisco was rendered obsolete with the arrival of Apple's System 7.
Postscript: The 2014 San Francisco font should not be confused with Susan Kare's ransom note bitmap font San Francisco which was created in 1984 for Apple. Open Font Library link where one can download the SF UI Text family (2015). This variant is exclusive to Apple Books in iOS 12 and macOS Mojave, is not mentioned in Apple's Typography design guidelines, and is not publicly downloadable like other variants of the San Francisco typeface. The "SF Serif" variant was showcased in June 2018 when the all-new Apple Books app was introduced. It is used in the new contact placeholder icons introduced in the OSes. Additionally, included in macOS Sierra and iOS 10 is a new variant named "SF Compact Rounded". The operating system automatically chooses the display optical size for sizes of at least 20 points, and the text optical size otherwise. Compared to display, the letters in text have larger apertures and more generous letter-spacing. Both SF and SF Compact each have two optical sizes: "display" for large and "text" for small text. The flat sides allow the letters to have more space between them, thereby making the text more legible at small sizes, which is particularly important for the Apple Watch.
The main difference is that the sides of letters with round shapes, such as o, e, and s, are round in SF, whereas they are flat in SF Compact. The San Francisco typeface has four variants: "SF" (or "SF UI") for macOS, iOS, and tvOS "SF Compact" for watchOS "SF Mono" (based on SF Compact) for the Xcode application and "SF Serif" for Apple Books. It is licensed to registered third-party developers only for the design and development of applications for Apple's platforms. Apple restricts the usage of the typeface by others. It is also used as Apple's corporate typeface. It is also used on the keyboard of the 2015 MacBook and on the 2016 MacBook Pro, replacing VAG Rounded. Apple uses it on its website and for its product wordmarks, where it replaced Myriad Pro. It was the original system typeface of watchOS and tvOS and has replaced Helvetica Neue and Lucida Grande as the system typeface of macOS and iOS since OS X El Capitan and iOS 9.

San Francisco has gradually replaced most of Apple's other typefaces on their software and hardware products and for overall branding. Developed between 20, these fonts have become the Apple System fonts for basically all Apple machines.

Some San Francisco fonts are free from Apple's web site. I really wonder why the typophiles bother-it's not their magazine or their web page-companies are free to use anything they like, including "not wasting a lot of effort on new typefaces".
The reaction of the curmudgeon society, aka The Typophiles, is quite predictably negative, with opinions including Susan Kare's original San Francisco (also done for Apple) was better. The 35 fonts are grouped into subfamilies San Francisco Text and San Francisco Display, and are available to designers of Apple Watch applications here. It has a legible, open DIN-like look, but the name of its designer was not released. In September 2014, Apple announced the imminent arrival of the Apple Watch, which came with a new neo-grotesque sans-serif typeface developed in house.
