iOS7 warning when submit to the App Store

Question

I get this error/warning about unrecognized locale when submitting an iOS7 project to the App Store, the project is based on a iOS6 project so I assume there is some change on iOS7 when submitting.

Any clue to fix this?

Answer 1

I have fixed by removing a NULL locale directory "ua.lproj" from the Appirater library and reference again.

Answer 2

There's another possibility. In our app we use a fake locale (yy) that helps us with translations. When we submit the app we have the same problem as above but we don't want the yy.lproj/ folder deleted.

Our solution is based on the EXCLUDED_SOURCE_FILE_NAMES user defined build setting. Under a target's 'build settings' tab we add a new entry with the value yy.lproj/*. This will prevent all files from that fake locale to be included, removing the warning and slimming the app.

Update for Xcode 9.1:

It seems this is now a pre-defined build setting. Under the target's Build Settings tab, I typed exclude into the search box, and it showed an empty setting Excluded Source File Names. I was able to double click on the right, tap "+" at the bottom of the box that appeared and then add the filename path.
