I had the same problem. I stared at it for days, until I peeked into the app bundle and saw that none of my .strings files were copied...

The solution is to create a build phase to copy the string files: (adapted from here)

2. Click "Add build phase" button and select "Copy files"
3. select "Resources" in "Copy files" phase
4. add Localizable.strings and any other string files in the project.

TADA!
