I am doing localization using NSLocalizedString and it has issues when there is a number in line with a string. For example, when on a local build, String.localizedStringWithFormat("Points: %d”, 62) would return "Points: 62", but on the TestFlight build it returns "Points: -2,114,563,680". All numbers behave this way with a different -2 billion number representing the number on screen.

In your actual code, are you formatting a variable, or is it an integer literal as in the example? Assuming it’s a variable, I’d suspect not a localization bug but a change in behavior causing the variable to have a garbage value that gets formatted. Does this issue occur when (1) you run a Release build locally; and (2) when you submit a Debug build to TestFlight?
