nativescript-plugin-regions
=======================================

This module installs a NativeScript after prepare hook that gives you full control about the development region and 
known regions which are set in the auto generated `platforms/ios/app-name.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj` file. 

How to use
----------

### Install

```bash
tns plugin install nativescript-plugin-regions
```

### Configuration

Create a file called `region.nativescript.json` in your project directory:

```json
{
  "developmentRegion": "de",
  "knownRegions": [
    "de"
  ]
}
```

Apply your configuration. Multiple known regions are supported.

Please also make sure that you apply correct config inside your `app/App_Resources/iOS/Info.plist` file.
An example for the above region config would be:

```plist
<key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key>
<string>de</string>
<key>CFBundleLocalizations</key>
<array>
  <string>de</string>
</array>
```

### Usage

You will need to execute `tns platform clean ios` in the CLI and `tns prepare ios` for the changes to take effect.

#### Example workflow for a release build

```bash
tns platform clean ios
tns prepare ios --release
tns build ios --bundle --env.uglify --env.aot  --release --forDevice
```

### Manual steps after project has been built

__This step is only required if you target a single language.__

In order to make iTunes Connect recognize a single language only you will need to open up your
`platforms/ios/app-name.xcodeproj` file, or `platforms/ios/app-name.xcworkspace` if available, with Xcode.

Within Xcode apply the changes described in the following graphic.

You will only have to make these manual changes when you are creating an archive for iTunes Connect.
It doesn't really matter during development.
