I am following the tutorial https://vulkan-tutorial.com/Drawing_a_triangle/Setup/Validation_layers
auto func = (PFN_vkCreateDebugUtilsMessengerEXT)vkGetInstanceProcAddr(instance, "vkCreateDebugUtilsMessengerEXT");
"func" returns nullptr in the CreateDebugUtilsMessengerEXT function. The Vulkan Instance is created successfully before the function to set up the debug messenger is called. I am using Xcode. I have set the environment variable VK_LOADER_DEBUG to all, but there is no output on what is causing the issue.

You have not enabled the VK_EXT_debug_utils extension beforehand:
std::vector<const char*> instanceExtensions(glfwExtensionCount);
memcpy(instanceExtensions.data(), glfwExtensions, sizeof(const char*) * glfwExtensionCount);
instanceExtensions.push_back("VK_KHR_portability_enumeration");
createInfo.enabledExtensionCount = static_cast<uint32_t>(instanceExtensions.size());
createInfo.ppEnabledExtensionNames = instanceExtensions.data();
Your getRequiredExtensions() which adds the extension remains uncalled.
Just a heads up for next time you submit question to StackOverflow. Always post a minimal complete example, not your whole codebase as is. The reason is 90 % of times you find the problem yourself by the act of forming a minimal example itself, so you save other people time. And then the example ends up as short as possible to expose the problem, so you save them time a second time when they read it. In your case it can literally be just something as simple as:
int main(){
vkCreateInstance();
pvkCreateDebugUtilsMessengerEXT = vkGetProcAddr();
assert(pvkCreateDebugUtilsMessengerEXT);
}
