Describe the problem

When following the docs for localization and releasing the iOS version to the apple app store, the app store entry ends up showing only the EN locale:

Expected fix

The docs have do be updated.

For the supported languages to be correctly displayed in the app store, users have to complete the following steps:

1. Open the ios/Runnder.xcodeproj
2. Select the Runner under Projects
3. Select the Info Tab
4. Add the supported languages under Localizations

This will create some empty .strings files and change the ios/Runner.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj files. It seems that app store relies on them when determining which languages are supported by the app.

Additional context

No response

I would like to fix this problem.

• [X] I will try and fix this problem on docs.flutter.dev.
