xliff different when exporting from Xcode UI vs. xcodebuild

Hello,


Starting with Xcode 9.3 (and up to Xcode 10 beta), we've noticed a weird behavior when using xcodebuild to export xliff files, most importantly:

  • stringsdict entries are completely missing
  • paths to Localizable.strings are suddenly different


With the same Xcode version, if we export the xliff from the UI, it works fine. Stringsdict entries are in the xliff and also the paths to Localizable.strings remains unchanged from Xcode 9.2.


Is anybody else experiencing these issues? Shouldn't both options do exactly the same?

At first blush this seems like the issue being discussed in this thread.
