Before iOS 16.1 my app was woking good, if the user set the app language to other language than his device language, my app, widget + extensions all use this language...

After iOS 16.1 if user set the app language to other language than his device language, my app works with this language but the widget + extensions works with the device language, not my app language...

For Example:

@Environment(\.locale.languageCode) private var userLocal

before iOS 16.1 userLocal would be the app local, after iOS 16.1 it return the device local

Any idea why Apple did that? is this a bug? How to set the widget language to match my app language now? even set .environment(\.locale, dose not work when use Strings(table: because it's still get the bundle that match device language.

This issue has resurfaced in iOS 17, despite Apple having resolved it in later releases of iOS 16.

@basememara can you please submit a feedback.

This most likely is a regression in iOS 17. I suggest that folks file a new feedback report for the WidgetKit team to investigate.
