The big chunk of data above in string tag is the place you can place your long long third party license.

• Finally in the Settings.app, we got the license section as Apple did in a lot of apps.

[Update] When the behavior is weird, try to reset the simulator :-)

Thanks for posting this! when I follow these instructions, all the text appears in caps. Is that the intended behavior?

<key>Title</key> will intended in caps. Text in <string></string> won't.

How would I modify this then so that the paragraph that starts with "Permission..." is not all caps?

thank you for posting :)

Thank you for posting!
Nevertheless I also encounter the same issue as pietrorea, whatever I put in the <string></string> also got CAPS.

Any idea ? Suggestion ?

UPDATE:
After 3 secondes of research I found the answer. 😄
You need to replace <key>Title</key> by <key>FooterText</key>

Let me add my thanks for your posting!

@zetachang Why are all the text capitalized? I am running simulator iOS 14.2, Xcode 12.5, macOS 11.2
