Hey everyone I’m new here. I designed my app in 5 languages and I updated each one description, promotional, what’s new etc one by one step by step then submitted a new build but my app still says English under languages. I did everything by the book. If anyone has any advice or can check the Apple Store Chinese, Spanis, Japanese, Portuguese country app stores and look for my app golden edge ai and atleast confirm it’s showing up in those locales I would be eternally grateful! 🙏🙏

It looks like your app itself might not actually contain any localizations. The App Store detects localizations of your app by looking for .lproj directories within your .app bundle.

If you have String Catalogs, they compile to .strings files inside .lproj directories.

However, if your localizations happen to be all in a framework or other dependencies, and the app itself does not contain any localizations of its own, then you could end up in this state. This is fixable by adding a dummy string to the top-level .app even if it won't be referenced anywhere.

Hey Annexedwa! If you've built your app in flutter, you have to Add Localized Languages in the info.plist and in the xCode side to show these languages on app store.

Omg thank you so much! So I added a locales section in app.json that points to small JSON files for each language and it now shows them in the App Store! Does that mean it’s available in the App Store in other countries that speak those languages? I can’t change my App Store location because of subscriptions to check.
