How do I get a list of countries in Swift ios?

Question

I\'ve already seen two similar questions to mine, but the answers for those questions do not work for me. I have an old project with a list of countries manually typed out insid

Answer 1

also it is a good practise to localize the displayed name of countries. So in addition to vedo27 answer it would be:

let countriesArray = NSLocale.ISOCountryCodes().map { (code:String) -> String in
        let id = NSLocale.localeIdentifierFromComponents([NSLocaleCountryCode: code])
        let currentLocaleID = NSLocale.currentLocale().localeIdentifier
        return NSLocale(localeIdentifier: currentLocaleID).displayNameForKey(NSLocaleIdentifier, value: id) ?? "Country not found for code: \(code)"
    }
