Add iOS localization support to sample app (en + es)#731
Open
Conversation
Demonstrates how to correctly configure supported localizations in Xcode so iOS reports the right device language to Airship. Without this, iOS falls back to the development region (en) for all users, causing the language channel attribute and Live Activity locale selection to always appear as English regardless of device language. - Add `es` to project knownRegions in AirshipExample.xcodeproj - Add en/es Localizable.strings to AirshipExample and ExampleWidgets targets - Update ExampleWidgetsLiveActivity to use String(localized:) with a comment explaining the iOS localization fallback behavior
