Enabling Double Length Pseudolanguage doesn't work in Xcode 7.3

Question

I'm trying to use the Double Length Pseudolanguage to test potential layout problems with other languages. I've enabled Application Language -> Double Length PseudoLanguage in scheme editor but when I run the app in the simulator, none of the strings were doubled. I've tried preview editor in Storyboards and the strings stayed the same.

FYI: I have localized my app to two languages already, I have a Base language (English) and pt-br (Portuguese). All of my hardcoded strings were changed in code to use NSLocalizedString.

I am having the same problem. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn.t — Ethan, May 18 '16 at 15:27

This might sound completely unrelated to the topic, but believe me, I read the question correctly.

If you use AFNetworking pod, go to AFURLSessionManager.m -> _AFURLSessionTaskSwizzling implementation and comment out the line [localDataTask cancel]. If you use CocoaPods you might get a warning that you have to unlock editing of the file. That fixes it for me.

This fixed it for me too. Thank you! – Sean Choe Jul 01 '20 at 18:28
How does commenting this out effect the app? Does it mean, that we cannot have "Show non-localized strings" always turned on? – micromanc3r Jul 27 '21 at 14:06
Ran into this issue as well. Found a thread on the issue. No fix has been found yet. https://github.com/AFNetworking/AFNetworking/issues/3303 – Maximilian Litteral Aug 09 '22 at 16:02

Try testing it on a real device.

Looks like this is a bug of the simulator on newer versions of Xcode.

Having the same issue both with Xcode 7.3 and 8 Beta. If you run on iOS 8 simulator this seem to work. Not ideal, but better than nothing.
