iOS 10 and Permissions localization description

Question

Faced interesting thing while preparing app for iOS 10. Starting from Xcode 8 you must provide description about any permission you ask in the app (https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/49951)

Everything seems good, but what if I want localize this descriptions?

If I would place it inside InfoPlist.strings - app will continue crashing. But if I would place it in InfoPlist.strings and Info.plist - app would always take description from Info.plist, so there won't be any localization.

Maybe someone have a solution. Thanks :)

Answer 1

I faced the same issue and I was able to resolve it because I noticed that the InfoPlist.strings wasn't member of any target.

So setting the Target Membership on the file (which puts it into the Copy Bundle Resources build phase) fixed it.
