Description
I have implemented the localize plugin, and Im' facing issues:
"get the default language on user's phone via the language property of the Device class."
I have Android which phone language setting is set United Kingdom (en) this picks up correctly. On iOS I also have the setting language to English as preferred language but this isn't printing correctly. I the following code.
console.log('DEVICE LANGUAGE', device.language);
console.log('From Cores, Device.language);
console.log('from __app__language__', ApplicationSettings.getString('__app__language__'))
const localeOverriddenSuccessfully = overrideLocale(Device.language);
On Android is correct:
On iOS is incorrect:
ns --version
8.5.3

=============================================
It seems to me that on iOS some how it cached into the the phone's default language variables, earlier on I was manually updating the language like so:
const localeOverriddenSuccessfully = overrideLocale('nl');
could this have been cached for iOS on this variables prior?
device.language
Device.language
__app__language__
Thanks
