When I drag png files into xcassets, they display correctly in Xcode but can no longer be loaded by UIImage(named:). This appears to be caused by a new line in the Contents.json file describing "locale."

Code Block {
	"filename" : "sidebar-album.png",
	"idiom" : "universal",
	"locale" : "Programming",
	"scale" : "1x"
},

Removing that line allows loading the images to load. This is the first time I've added images since upgrading to Xcode 12, so I assume this is related.

The "Programming" locale seems to be coming from the name of the root folder. The source of the images is a folder in ~/[ Programming ]/folder1/folder2/folder3/images. If I move the source to another folder it takes the name of that folder instead.

Is there a way to shut this off?

I tried the same with a png image, on XCode 12GM.

I get, without any locale added :

Code Block {
  "images" : [
    {
      "filename" : "image.png",
      "idiom" : "universal",
      "scale" : "1x"
    },
    {
      "idiom" : "universal",
      "scale" : "2x"
    },
    {
      "idiom" : "universal",
      "scale" : "3x"
    }
  ],
  "info" : {
    "author" : "xcode",
    "version" : 1
  }
}

To be sure, I also did the following:

copy first the image in resources
drag from there into xcassets.

Same result.

I searched in reference and could not find the "locale" key
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Xcode/Reference/xcode_ref-Asset_Catalog_Format/Contents.html

and here more specifically, where we find "author", "version", "idiom", "filename" … but not "locale"
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Xcode/Reference/xcode_ref-Asset_Catalog_Format/ImageSetType.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40015170-CH25-SW1

I would thus either file a bug report (at least against this documentation" or contact Apple support.
