setting localization native development solved

[jmburnod]

Hi All,
I selected "français" for "Languages" on iTunesConnect but App Store display "english".
I believe understand that is linked with "localization native development" as i can see in "info.plist" file.
I can change this with xCode but i wonder if that is the only and best way.

Thanks to someone who may confirm i'm going to the right way
Best regards

From Apple FAQ
Where do the available languages displayed for my app on the App Store come from?
This list of available languages shown on the App Store is based on your app bundle's localization (.lproj) folders. Missing, incorrect, or invalid localizations in your app bundle can be caused by misconfigured localizations in your Xcode project. You cannot change the languages shown on the App Store by editing the localizations on iTunes Connect.

If you look at the contents of any app bundle in Finder, inside Contents -> Resources you will see many folders named "xx.lproj", each with their own plist file. These determine the languages your app supports. I haven't worked with these, but I assume XCode makes those for you.

Hi Jacqueline,
I can see "Contents -> Resources" folder in OS X app but not in iOS app

[jmburnod]

I understand "xx.lproj" files we can see inside Contents -> Resources only concern translations for "about" menu.

I see. I think your only option is to let Xcode do it and see what happens. I haven't worked with these files yet but would like to know what you find out.

I have to submit a new build to verify if this way works well.
Once I did it i'll post some news in this thread

I think that is a particular case that regarding switzerland which becomes an island in Europa.

[jmburnod]

I live in a small island on the middle Europa. Switzerland is its name. Four langages are spoken in this country and it seems LiveCode use default langage although I put "français" as langage in iTunesConnect.
I search a way to display "Français" instead "Anglais" in App Store.
I see that « Localization native development region » displays English in « Info.plist » file.
I tried to change it in « Info.plist » file to « France » but I get an error message « App installation failed. The application does not have a valid signature »
Is that what is expected ?
Best regards

Any change to the compiled app will invalidate the signing signature. If you edit the plist you have to re-sign the app. AppWrapper can do that.

Another way is to create a custom plist and put it into the Copy Files pane in the standalone settings. I haven't tried it, but the standalone builder is supposed use your custom plist instead of its own default. This is probably an easier way to customize the app.

Thanks one more Jacqueline,

Indeed it seems the standalone builder use custom plist
I'm able to copy my app on my iPad and choosed pList is the file i put into the copyfile pane
I hope that is the trick to display "Français" on App Store

Hi All,

I hope that is the trick to display "Français" on App Store

I confirm that is the trick. App Store display "Français"
