Suppress User-facing text should use localized string macro warning

Question

I am using unlocalized strings and getting below warning

User-facing text should use localized string macro

How to suppress this warning ?

Answer 1

From clang documentation:

you can suppress the analyzer warnings (and document your intent) with a function that just returns its input but is annotated to return a localized string:

__attribute__((annotate("returns_localized_nsstring"))) static inline NSString *LocalizationNotNeeded(NSString *s) {   return s; }  [field setStringValue:LocalizationNotNeeded(@"Debug")]; 

Some projects may also find it useful to use NSLocalizedString but add "DNL" or "Do Not Localize" to the string contents

Answer 2

in the project Build Settings: "Static Analyzer - Issues - Apple APIs" set "Missing Localizability" to No

also make sure to not have any Localizations, otherwise will xcode 9 will warn you to turn on "Missing Localizability" analyzer warnings again.

this was trickier for me, i had to open the project file (project.pbxproj) with a text editor and manually empty the list of "knownRegions" otherwise they would not stay deleted
