Testing In-App purchases for multilanguage

Question

I have included various localized descriptions in iTunesConnect (English, French, Chinese) for an in-app product. I am displaying the localizedTitle and localizedDescription properties after fetching them from apple's server using an SKProductsRequest.

My understanding from the docs and other threads is that if I change the test phone to the relevant language it will display the correct language. However in testing with my phone in French or Chinese the product descriptions are still in the original English.

I am not logged on with any iTunes account during the testing (Settings=>Store=>Signout).

Can anyone provide any hints how to test the IAP multilingual functionality?

Answer 1

I believe the localization that the store returns for the product description is based on the assigned iTunes store of the test user you are using. The device's language setting only pertains to the resources loaded locally.
