iOS 12 - NSLocale issue

303 views Asked by ndekic At 10 December 2018 at 15:19

If you are using iOS >= 12 and set device language and region to France (fr_FR) Device settings IMG and fetch current locale from the code:

[NSLocale currentLocale]

[[NSLocale autoupdatingCurrentLocale] localeIdentifier]

result will be en_FR.

Keep in mind that app has localization for France Localizable.strings IMG and info.plist contains

<key>CFBundleLocalizations</key>
<array>
    <string>en</string>
    <string>fr</string>
    <string>it</string>
    <string>de</string>
</array>

Why is this happening? Did I miss something? Same approach is working on iOS < 12.
