Unrecognized Locale - Notice after submitting to Apple APP Store

Although accepted - I received this notice when using the Application Loader to upload our APP to the Store:

WARNING ITMS-90176: "Unrecognized Locale - The locale names used in localization directories at ( "Payload/xxx.app/AccountKitStrings.bundle/Resources/cb_IQ.lproj" ) are invalid. iTunes supports BCP47 but not the UN M.49 specification. Refer to the Language and Locale Designations guide at https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPInternational/LanguageandLocaleIDs/LanguageandLocaleIDs.html for more information on naming your language-specific directories."

The only thing I can see for us in terms of locale is "Supported Languages".  I have this in my app.xml file:

<supportedLanguages>en</supportedLanguages>

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Correct answer dews

Since the app has already been accepted I wouldn't worry too much about it, but it still seems odd.

I don't know, but could it be that there is something wrong with the name tag in your xml? Maybe a misspelling of the language code in "text xml:lang"?

In your case I guess it ought to be:

<name>

    <text xml:lang="en">name of your application</text>

  </name>

Ah the XML does have mention of different names for different locales in the comments above the name tag, I should have noticed that, thank you.

Just made that change to the name tag..  but I'm still seeing the same message in the Application Loader after submitting the app (see below).  I'm now also seeing an expired signing certificate warning.  I created another via XCode per the link in the description but I just got the same two warnings?

==============

WARNING ITMS-90722: "Certificate Expired. The signing certificate "CN=Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certification Authority, OU=Apple Worldwide Developer Relations, O=Apple Inc., C=US" with serial number 25 used to sign xxx.app has expired. Learn more (https://help.apple.com/xcode/mac/current/#/dev154b28f09)."

WARNING ITMS-90176: "Unrecognized Locale - The locale names used in localization directories at ( "Payload/xxx.app/AccountKitStrings.bundle/Resources/cb_IQ.lproj" ) are invalid. iTunes supports BCP47 but not the UN M.49 specification. Refer to the Language and Locale Designations guide at https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPInternational/LanguageandLocaleIDs/LanguageandLocaleIDs.html for more information on naming your language-specific directories."

===============

Once again, it's let me continue and does not prevent me for submitting for review.  Quite odd.

I imagine I should be concerned - but its already been reviewed and accepted regardless of those warning.  What do you think?
