Change your Localization Native Development region in your Info.plist to French (I see you've already done that :))
Open your .xcodeproj/project.pbxproj file and change the developmentRegion value to French
Re-open your project, select your project file and then add a French localisation
Remove the English localisation

You should be good to go now.

Whatever the language user have selected inside your app. You have to force setting that language in your app. manual language selection in an iOS-App (iPhone and iPad) you should make that language selection in your AppDelegate's - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {...} method. So whatever the language is in user's device, it won't effect your app.

In your case:

NSString *currentLang = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:@"currentLang"];
if([currentLang length]) {
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:currentLang, nil] forKey:@"AppleLanguages"];
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
} else {
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"fr", nil] forKey:@"AppleLanguages"];
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
}

Please never do this. This is not a supported configuration and much of your UI will still appear in the system language. – wakachamo Mar 16 '16 at 18:02
@wakachamo, this is just an answer to the user's required question. He needs to have the same function for his app. – Hemang Mar 16 '16 at 18:06
This can be accomplished without resorting to runtime hacks, as described in my answer. – wakachamo Mar 16 '16 at 19:22
@hemang. I used - NSString *language = [[NSLocale currentLocale] displayNameForKey:NSLocaleIdentifier value:[[NSLocale currentLocale] localeIdentifier]];; to find current device language and did your suggested change further it works but i have to open and kill app first time. – Garry Mar 17 '16 at 05:36
