iOS app in non-english language

Question

I have developed an app which should be in Norwegian language only. The app does not use localisation, since it should appear in one language only (Norwegian). However, I have set "Localisation native development region" to "no" in the Info.plist file. I also use base localisation.

The app launches and behaves correctly in Norwegian language for any device language and regional setting. So far, so good.

The problem arises on the app-store, where the app language states English and not Norwegian as I would expect. I have created the iTunes Connect record for Norwegian only, and I believe the problem is related to information iTunes Connect extracts from the app-image it self. However, I cannot figure out which setting in Xcode that needs to be altered in order to reflect Norwegian on the app-store. I use Xcode 7.2.

Any clue on how to solve this issue would be very much appreciated.

Answer 1

I finally managed to get this working by:

1. Use the latest version (7.3.1) of Xcode
2. Add InfoPlist.strings and Localizable.strings to the project
3. Add Base and Norwegian Localisation to the project
4. Localize InfoPlist.strings and Localizable.strings to Norwegian
5. Localise Storyboard/XIB files to Base and Norwegian
6. Make sure all other localisations are removed from the project and delete the belonging files and folders. Only Base and Norwegian should be left
7. Set "Localisation native development region" to "nb-NO" in info.plist
8. Add "CFBundleDisplayName" = "Your App" to InfoPlist.strings

This should also apply to any other language for single language apps.

Answer 2

What you need to do is the following:

1. Go to iTunes Connect
2. Select your app
3. Choose a new build
4. Tap on the language (Where the arrow points)
5. Select a new language
6. When you have added the new language you are able to delete the english.
