iOS - getLocaleName return `en-FR` when the phone is actually in `fr-FR`

[zabojad]

On iOS, getLocaleName return en-FR when the phone is actually in fr-FR.

Tested with cordova-plugin-globalization 1.11.0 "Globalization".

I've found the cause of this issue. Since iOS 11, [NSLocale currentLocale] will return the actual system lang only if the app has listed its supported locales in its *-info.plist file under the key:

<key>CFBundleLocalizations</key>
    <array>
        <string>en</string>
        <string>fr</string>
        <string>nl</string>
        <string>it</string>
        <string>de</string>
    </array>

I think that should be written in the cordova-plugin-globalization README file as an iOS specificity...

Awesome find! Could you please create a PR for this in the README?
Would be great if it would also include a link to some source about this on an Apple website.

Ow this is why! Been wondering for a long time why my language was not as it should be... +1 for the README suggestion.

Works after adding the following to the section in config.xml:

    <custom-config-file parent="CFBundleLocalizations" platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist">
                <array>
                    <string>en</string>
                    <string>fr</string>
                </array>
            </custom-config-file>
