Localization of NSAlarmKitUsageDescription

In the new AlarmKit API, how do you localize NSAlarmKitUsageDescription?

In the case of other usage descriptions, such as NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription, you can use an InfoPlist.xcstrings file, but this does not appear to work for NSAlarmKitUsageDescription.

We are expecting localization to be available the same way as other usage descriptions in an upcoming iOS update.

This appears to be fixed in beta 2 of iOS 26.1.

For reference, I set NSAlarmKitUsageDescription in my InfoPlist.xcstrings and verified that the localized usage description was displayed in the authorization dialog.
