It writes native config files into the generated iOS and Android projects. It does **not** run at runtime, ship translations, switch locales, or persist user preferences. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8.3+ - Laravel >= 12 - NativePHP Mobile v3 Features -------- [](#features) - Single source of truth for supported locales — one config array, both platforms. - iOS: writes `CFBundleLocalizations` into `Info.plist`. - Android: generates `res/xml/locales_config.xml` and references it from `AndroidManifest.xml`. - Automatic format conversion (BCP 47 in, platform-native out). - Idempotent — repeated builds produce the same output. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require developernauts/nativephp-mobile-locales ``` Register the plugin with NativePHP: ``` php artisan native:plugin:register developernauts/nativephp-mobile-locales ``` Publish the config file: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag=nativephp-mobile-locales-config ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) `config/mobile-locales.php` ``` return [ 'locales' => [ 'en', 'en-GB', ], ]; ``` Use [BCP 47](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5646) tags (`en`, `pt-BR`, `en-GB`). Region subtags are optional. Tags are normalized automatically — `en_gb`, `EN-GB`, and `en-GB` resolve to the same entry. Native Platform Language Support -------------------------------- [](#native-platform-language-support) The plugin automatically syncs your configured locales into the native iOS and Android projects so the operating system can properly recognise which languages your app supports — without any manual Xcode or Android Studio configuration. ### iOS App Store Language Display [](#ios-app-store-language-display) iOS reads the `CFBundleLocalizations` entries written to `Info.plist` and surfaces them in Settings and on the App Store listing.

The locale files will be restored on the next build/run/bundle. Generating locale files locally ------------------------------- [](#generating-locale-files-locally) To inspect or verify the generated files without running a full build, the sync commands can be run directly: ``` # Sync all platforms php artisan nativephp-mobile-locales:sync # iOS only — updates nativephp/ios/NativePHP/Info.plist and nativephp/ios/NativePHP-simulator-Info.plist php artisan nativephp-mobile-locales:sync-ios # Android only — creates nativephp/android/app/src/main/res/xml/locales_config.xml php artisan nativephp-mobile-locales:sync-android # Android manifest only — adds android:localeConfig to AndroidManifest.xml php artisan nativephp-mobile-locales:sync-android-manifest ``` How it works ------------ [](#how-it-works) On every build, the plugin reads the `locales` array and writes the platform-native equivalent into the generated native projects. ### iOS [](#ios) `nativephp/ios/NativePHP/Info.plist` ``` CFBundleLocalizations en en-GB ``` ### Android [](#android) `nativephp/android/app/src/main/res/xml/locales_config.xml` ``` ``` `nativephp/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml` ``` ``` BCP 47 (`en-GB`) is automatically converted to Android's resource qualifier format (`en-rGB`). Keep your config in BCP 47. Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` The test suite covers locale normalisation, BCP 47 → platform-native format conversion, XML write/update logic for all three config files, platform routing, and idempotency. Notes ----- [](#notes) Note Running `php artisan native:plugin:validate` will report two warnings for this plugin: - *No bridge\_functions defined in manifest* - *No native code directories found (resources/android or resources/ios)* Both are expected. This plugin ships no bridge functions and no native code — it works entirely through a `pre_compile` hook that writes config files into the generated native projects. The warnings do not affect functionality. - Per-app language preferences on Android 13+ require both `locales_config.xml` and the manifest reference — both handled here. - iOS reads `CFBundleLocalizations` at build time; rebuild after changing the config. - An empty `locales` array is a valid no-op. - Only two-part BCP 47 tags are supported (`en`, `en-GB`). Three-part tags such as `zh-Hans-CN` are rejected with an `InvalidArgumentException`. License ------- [](#license) The MIT License (MIT).
