I checked my sources as well and only found the line in the <SampleAuthorizationPrompts.strings> file as well. Changing it didn't effect the dialog box for me ether…

I tried deleting the build folder, re-creating the .strings file from scratch and even renaming all the associated variables to zero effect; the string remains the same…

WTH?

I'll email the original author and see if he's got a clue what's going on.
