Is there a way to localize app name with xcconfig files?

Question

I have come across the other threads and was unable to find a solution specific to my situation.

I have three config files (DEV, QA, Prod)

In each of the xcconfig files, I override the $(product_name) ex: PRODUCT_NAME = MyNameDev

This works great but now I need to localize the app in two languages and in 3 different environments.

In english:

Prod -> MyName
DEV -> MyNameDev
QA -> MyNameQA

In French:

Prod -> MyFrenchName
DEV -> MyFrenchNamepDev
QA -> MyFrenchNameQA

@dilaver no I haven't. We ended up removing the localization from the app name as we prioritized tagging the dev environments. — Ace Green, Jan 31 '19 at 13:45

Update : Not working anymore, i'll try to find a new solution

Old answer : Your Info.plist has a special file (InfoPlist.strings) in which you can put string overrides for other languages. To give the app a different name in French, open Supporting Files > InfoPlist.strings (French) and insert the following: "CFBundleDisplayName" = PRODUCT_NAME; Hope this helps :)
