How to localizae application display name of iOS developed with .NET MAUI?

Question

Display name is localized on android in (Resources\values) folder and it works as expected. However, I can't get it to work with iOS.

What have been done:

1. In info.plist make sure there is this code

    <key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key>
   	<string>en</string>
   	<key>CFBundleLocalizations</key>
   	<array>
   		<string>en</string>
   		<string>ar</string>
   	</array>
   	<key>CFBundleDisplayName</key>
   	<string>Thamar</string>

1. In platform/iOS add this folder structure.
2. In each InfoPlist.strings , add CFBundleDisplayName localization "CFBundleDisplayName" = "ثمار";

Any help appreciated.. thank you.

Hello,

Please move the .lproj folder out of Platforms folder, which should be at the same level as the Platforms/Resources/App.xml file.

You also could check if the build action of InfoPlist.strings is BundleResource.

In addition, you can go to Properties ->Build->App Info (via VS for Mac), then check the Application Title, which display name of the application for base language(usually the base language is en).

Best Regards,
