As I am testing In App Purchases of my app project (for iOS) at the moment, I am trying to figure out how to test for users from different countries(if the number-formatting code is correct for currencies/prices being displayed):
What I can do is; change the country of my apple ID. Which is fine, for testing the displayed price. This price changes indeed for different countries.
But still the displayed currency is the Euro (as I live/work and am located at the moment in Europe).
So how could I mimic/simulate being in another country/continent?
Is there another solution?
(besides travelling....just for testing purposes :)!!)
Pls correct me if I ask something stupid or if it is already asked (I could not find a similar question)
You can change the application region in the scheme settings.
Go to Product > Scheme > Edit Scheme. Then under Run select the Options tab, here you can easily change the region (and language) settings:

i want to know where i can give some description to test notes in TestFlight. Because whats in the test information build only shows for the most recent build. And who can change the test note for the build? is it the app owner or the tester?
If you have access right, then you can login into https://appstoreconnect.apple.com, you can edit the test note in the platform, for the App which you have access right.
Select TestFlight tab > select your build and you will see Test Details box
We have the same issues since years.
For apps which have one language (so the primary language), English (U.S.), it works as expected.
But for apps which have one language, like German, the latest build view displays the release notes, but notes the previous build views (the one shared in the first post).
I would like to release an iPhone app to several countries. However I would like to change the wording of the App Store description depending on the country (Lebanon, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia). How can I do that?
The answer to your question is no. You cannot change the language based on territories. Here you can find all App Store territories: https://help.apple.com/app-store-connect/#/dev997f9cf7c
You can translate or localize your app only into different languages. Basically there are two parts of the equation:
1) App Store page: Add your additional languages directly in App Store Connect. This is only possible when your app is in an editable state. You can check out all languages over here.
2) Actual app: Done in Xcode
I have an app, written in JavaScript and built into Objective C by http://cocoon.io
In other words, I can not edit the C files of the build. Now, I want to do the simplest thing on the world - to add translated app description in multiple languages. On the play store all I need to do is to select and add a new language from the drop down menu and add the corresponding description.
On apple, however, from what I read, I need to set the list of languages available in the drop down from the build. I can't express enough how silly is this!!!
In the iTunes store on the "Localizable Information" language drop down I have only and only English.
Any workaround about this?
Thanks!
As far as I understand your question, you just want to add localised App Store descriptions for your app. This works similar in iTunes Connect as it would with the Google Play console. (It's different if you want to localise your app itself. For more info check the official guide.)
1) Log into iTunes Connect and choose your app
2) Click on the languages dropdown on the right - default shows your primary language - and click on the little blue "+" to add languages.
3) You can now add specific/translated metadata for the new languages. (App description, keywords, marketing URL, support URL; even screenshots if you wish)
Few notes:
There is no "automatic" translation service integrated into iTunes
Connect. You need to manually get the metadata translated and insert
it on iTunes Connect.
You can only add new languages, when your app
is in an editable state. If your app is currently on the store, you need to add a new version to add new languages to it.
Find more information on what you can localise and which languages are available at the iTunes Connect Developer guide: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/Appendices/AppStoreTerritories.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011225-CH18-SW3
So I'm submitting my app to iOS through iTunes connect.
I noticed that the name I wanted for my app was taken when the default language was set to 'English', but when I changed the default language to 'UK English' the name became available.
Now I want to know if by choosing 'UK English' as my app's default language if this will be a hindrance/problem?
For example, will my app be hidden for some users when they search for the term?
I do not think it is a wise idea to use a name that has already been used / is currently in use. This will definitively lead to bugs or unwanted occurrences. Every entry on your app on the net will be shared with someone else's application.
I would therefore suggest to come up with another name for your app.
I have a 2 version app with IAP implemented. My question is: is it any way to change the app name (xxxx lite) to (xxxx) without the lite?
Of course, this should be a code stuff, not changing the name on the info.plist, because this will be resolved only when I purchase the app.
Thanks.
Through code, there is no way to change the name that appears under the icon. Of course if your app name is displayed anywhere within your running app, you can change that name as needed.
