Our app supports Russian, Ukrainian and Turkish localizations. When only English is selected in iOS Settings, Locale.current returns uk_US, but Localization native development region is set to "ru". NSLocalizedString however provides strings in correct locale (russian).
DateFormatters also provide strings in ukrainian (supposably as they are using Locale.current under the hood).

As result, app is presented to user in two languages at the same time: Ukrainian and Russian.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new project.
2. Remove English localization
3. Add Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish localizations
4. Open project file in text editor
5. Replace "developmentRegion = en" to "developmentRegion = ru". Optionally set CFBundleDevelopmentRegion to "ru" in Info.plist.
6. Erase content and settings or select only English language in iOS Settings.
7. Check output of NSLocalizedString and Locale.current.

or

Execute step 6 and open attached sample app.

Expected Results:
Locale.current returns ru_US.
DateFormatters and NSLocalizedString return strings in Russian.

Actual Results:
Locale.current returns uk_US.
DateFormatters return strings in Ukrainian.
NSLocalizedString returns strings from ru.lproj.
