Compose generated string resources does not appear on testflight installed apps
Describe the bug If you use a string compose resource it does not work in a testflight downloaded version of you app.
Affected platforms
- iOS
Versions
- Kotlin version*: 1.9.23
- Compose Multiplatform version*: 1.6.10-dev1608
- OS version(s)* (required for Desktop and iOS issues): 17.4
- OS architecture (x86 or arm64): arm64
- Device (model or simulator for iOS issues): IPhone 14 Pro, IPhone 13 Pro
To Reproduce Add a string to en/strings.xml resource folder. Use this string in in an iOS targeted app. Upload this app to testflight. Run it.
Expected behavior The resource should be found
Additional context Once downloaded from testflight i cant install the app locally without clearing caches.
i cant install the app locally without clearing caches.
Does it mean that the issue reproduces only when you try to update the application? If so, then from which Compose version update happens? Does it reproduce with clean install?
No, it does not only reproduce on update. It reproduces on clean install.
- Deleting the app and installing via xcode is still broken (even if this same build is working on a simluator (or any unafected device).
- Removing this string resource -> Upload to testflight -> download it to the same phone -> Works.
We didn't able reproduce the issue - an app installed via TestFlight can access resources successfully.
We would appreciate a sample project with the issue, and the detailed steps how you build and upload the application.
