Description

  1. Testing ability for different countries
  2. Currently device region/country can only be detected using the IP address of the device.
  3. SDK should give us the ability to set region or it can get active region on device settings by using Locale.current.regionCode

According to the Firebase Remote Config manager docs, Firebase Remote Config determines user country/region by device IP address. This makes the test process hard because we may want to test UI in different countries. I read the documents and investigated the open-source codes. As a result, I couldn't find a way to set the country/region inside the application. I think we should have an SDK API to set the device country/region by app. In such a case we can use Locale.current.regionCode to set the device region and test different configurations in different countries easily.
