Localized languages of bundle metadata in AppStoreConnect is incomplete

Hello.

I have an app in the app store that I have localized into several languages. But the list of languages that the app supports in the App Store lacks English, which is the main language (and the language I developed the app in).

I'm localizing the text by using String with a "localized" key and a defaultValue (in English).

I also created a localization string catalog where I added added the values for each key on each language.

On Xcode (15.0.1), in the app file, info, localization section I see that all languages are there with green checkmarks, except English which is at the top and is the default language.

However, when I build, archive and send the bundle to AppStoreConnect, the Localizations in the Store Information section for the bundle does not include English, and so on the AppStore it looks like the app supports all of the additional languages but it does not list English.

I can't figure out exactly what I'm missing. Can anyone help?
