Embed font in iOS/Android app

At my company, we are developing an app for iOS and Android. The native app is just a container for a web app.

We would like to use to use Myriad Pro in this app, and would like to know if we can use the font by using @11220649-face and storing the font source files in the iOS/Android native apps, as resource files for the web app.

So the question is: Does the license allow this and can we embed the font source files in the app legally?

Thanks in advance!

the license allows you to use the font but not to redistribute the font file

it is not legal, unless you obtain a distribution license from the font maker

I disagree with tarentola's answer.  This wouldn't count as distribution because the font isn't being downloaded by the user.
