iPhone - Localizable.strings with double quotes escape character

ios, iphone, objective-c, xcode

Solution

You have to escape the quote marks with a backslash:

"Now open \"Phone\" application" = "Maintenant ouvert \"Téléphone\" application";

Problem

Inside the Localizable.strings file, if I add the escape character ", the file fails the building process. For example: ``` "Now open ""Phone"" application" = "Maintenant ouvert ""Téléphone"" application"; ``` I get an error due to this line. If commented out, it works just fine.
