I have a strange situation when using different languages in my app.
Let say I have those InfoPlist.strings
- English
- English (Canada)
- English (United States)
- English (United Kingdom)
- French
- French (Canada)
- French (France)
In each InfoPlist I have a line similar to the one below when I identify each combinaison. For example, here, it is for English (Canada):
"CFBundleDisplayName" = "EN-CA";
In XCode, I configured the English as the default one. This will change the developmentRegion field in the project.
I install the application to the iPhone with iOS 17.2
Then, I start to change the iOS language and region from the Settings->General->Language & Region.
It is here the behavior becomes strange and where I need your help to understand.
Here what I see for the app name under the app icon when changing the phone language and regions:
(Language (Region): App name)
- English (Canada): EN <– WHY not EN-CA?
- French (Canada): FR-CA
- French (United States): FR
- English (United States): EN <– WHY not EN-US?
- English (United Kingdom): EN-GB
- English (France): EN-GB <– WHY not EN?
- French (France): FR
- English (United Arab Emirates): EN
And now, adding to that, if I try to delete the application, the alert message will contain the right application name. For example, when trying to delete the first example, the application name will be “EN-CA”
Anybody can explain to me what is going on behind the scene?
Is it true it is a limitation from Apple: https://developers.apple.com/forums/thread/742591
Is there any official documentation?
Thanks
