I am developing an simple app for iOS. I have already developed this app for Android and in Android version I needed to implement in app language switcher. It was due to a fact that some Android devices (from specific countries) doesnt containt all languages and therefore users weren't able to change app language by changing system language. This is the reason why I needed to implement in app language switcher to override system language and allow, for example, users from slovakia to chose slovak language even that theirs phone didnt have it.
My question is: Do I need to implement this functionality on iPhone too? Or does every iphone contain all languages. If so then I can totaly rely on system language and I dont need to implement in app language switching.
If you have an iOS device and you see the required language there, you may be sure this language exists on all other iOS devices in the world.

How to change the language of iOS app using objective-c? I made the iOS app using objective-c. It is used localized feature for string about English and French. If iPhone's language setting is based on French, my app is running with French, if iPhone's language setting is based on English, my app is running with English.
But I don't want to change the iPhone's language setting. I want to change the language inside my app. I tried to find out the solutions, but still didn't find it out.
What is the correct solution?
so im developing an app that's directed to work on both RTL and LTR languages.
I built all the UI based on the RTL design, but didnt figure that I tested in on an english based device.
Im now testing it on hebrew based device, and the mirrors, i tried changing the Localization native development region in the Info.plist to he, but it still mirrors the app.
first image is the desired behaviour and second one is whats happening when running the app on hebrew device
The gboard app available within app store for ios provides a custom keyboard that can be used to provide inputs to any text based application and runs smoothly with iMessages , messenger, whatsapp etc. It also provides advanced features like google contextual search within the keyboard that can be pasted across.
From an ios app development perspective, how does this work with other applications since iOS app development , cocoa touch architecture enforces application sandboxing where inter app communication is restricted. One can communicate only using url schemes or icloud, that too in a limited extent.
So how has been this application developed and which advanced features of cocoa touch has been utilised to develop such an app
Most likely it is a keyboard extension. Apple added this ability in iOS 8.
It is fully documented in the Custom Keyboard section of the App Extension Programming Guide.
I'm working on localization for an iOS library that displays the name of first-party iOS apps (Maps, Safari, Mail, etc). It needs to support all languages supported by iOS, so I need every localized name for the first-party iOS apps I care about.
I can grab them manually for each language (by changing the language in the simulator and looking at the default apps, or visiting international marketing pages such as http://www.apple.com/fr/iphone-5c/built-in-apps/), but given the number of languages iOS is available in an automated solution would be much preferred.
Is there an easier method? Perhaps a way to extract the Info.plist file for each app out of the simulator?
You may find these names in Apple glossaries. See http://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?name=localization
Is it possible to scan all the text that is being displayed on BlackBerry screen at run-time? We have a project that needs to collect the common English wording used in mobile devices.
I do not beleive there is a way. Certainly no API that I've seen documented would allow you to do this. Regardless of the purpose of your program, the ability would be a significant security and privacy issue. Essentially the same answer you have gotten for each other platform.
