NSLocale Country Code and Name is Null

Question

I am using the below code for Code and Country name but it returns null.

NSLocale *locale = [NSLocale currentLocale];
NSString *countryCode = [locale objectForKey: NSLocaleCountryCode];
NSString *country = [locale displayNameForKey: NSLocaleCountryCode value: countryCode];
NSLog(@"Language : %@ Lang2 : %@",[[[NSBundle mainBundle] preferredLocalizations] objectAtIndex:0],[[NSLocale preferredLanguages] objectAtIndex:0]);
NSLog(@"Locale:%@ Code:%@ Name%@:", locale, countryCode, country);

developmentRegion = English;
        hasScannedForEncodings = 0;
        knownRegions = (
            en,
            Base,
            fr,
            de,
            nl,
            ja,
            es,
            tr,
            it,
            pl,
            pt,
        );

Logs : Locale:<__NSCFLocale: 0x7fbef943f810> Code:(null) Name(null)

Language : nl Lang2 : nl

Tested both on device and simulator.i don't know whats going on here.It should work fine.Please let me know if you guys have any idea.i am using xcode 6.4.

It works for me while using XCode 6.4, I think you need to check your `Settings -> General -> Language & Region -> Region Formats` and set accordingly. It should work. Cheers. — iphonic, Jul 27 '15 at 11:10
What is your Region set in the Simulator/Device Settings -> Region Formats ? — iphonic, Jul 27 '15 at 11:24

Finally found the bugger.

I tested the above code in another test project and was working fine but not in my current project. So i used the developer tool FileMerge and compared the two and found a difference in the below line.(xcshareddata->xcschemes->****.xcscheme).

I don't know how the language = "nl" got there may be due to a bad merge but rolling back and re-merge didn't work either.

Manually removing the line solved my Ghostly Problem :)
