I have done some more research and trials, and now I wonder if +[NSLocale autoupdatingCurrentLocale] does work at all. A warning in Apple's Technical Q&A makes me wonder:

<http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#qa/qa2010/qa1480.html>

I know this is an iOS Q&A and I am on Mac OS X, but ...

I have seen another, similar issue mentioned for GNUstep:

<http://old.nabble.com/Getting-NSUserDefaultsDidChangeNotification-notifications-td30795051.html>

Does anyone here use +[NSLocale autoupdatingCurrentLocale] in a Mac app successfully, to be informed whenever the user has changed the System Prefs settings for "Language & Text"?

The code mentioned below doesn't crash when I exchange autoupdatingCurrentLocale by currentLocale, but of course I don't get any new NSLocale parameters then.

Mac OS 10.6.6 and Xcode 3.2.5:

I am playing with NSNumberFormatter stuff for various custom number edit
fields, which will e.g. be used to auto-format dpi values, degree
values, document measurement values with various format strings, etc.

I currently receive an EXC_BAD_ACCESS, with the following relevant code
lines in the relevant method:

- (id)init
{
    [...]
    [self setFormatterBehavior:NSNumberFormatterBehavior10_4];
    return self;
}

- (void)setNewFormatString
{
    NSLocale *autoLocale = [NSLocale autoupdatingCurrentLocale];
    NSString *localeIdentifier = [autoLocale localeIdentifier];

    NSLog(@"%@", localeIdentifier);  // outputs e.g. "fr_CA"

    [self setLocale:autoLocale];     //<-- EXC_BAD_ACCESS

     // more formatting stuff
    [...]
}

I cannot find what I am doing wrong. Can you help, please?
