Is there a simple way to format currency into string in iOS?

Question

I need a way to format the price from NSNumber into a string like this: \"USD 0.99\", not \"$ 0.99\".

My game uses custom fonts, and they could not have the symbols

Answer 1

The – productsRequest:didReceiveResponse: method gives you back a list of SKProducts.

Each product contains a property priceLocale which contains the local currency of the product for the current user.

You could use the following sample code (apple's) to format it:

NSNumberFormatter *numberFormatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
[numberFormatter setFormatterBehavior:NSNumberFormatterBehavior10_4];
[numberFormatter setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle];
[numberFormatter setLocale:product.priceLocale];
NSString *formattedString = [numberFormatter stringFromNumber:product.price];

Good luck!
