NSBundle.localizedStringForKey doesn't work properly in pair with NSString.localizedStringWithFormat. Looks like NSString losing some metadata during conversion into Kotlin String.

Here is example on Kotlin:

import platform.Foundation.NSBundle
import platform.Foundation.NSString
import platform.Foundation.localizedStringWithFormat

class TestClass(private val bundle: NSBundle) {
    fun localizedStringWithFormat(string: String): String {
        return NSString.localizedStringWithFormat(
                this.bundle.localizedStringForKey(string, "", "Localizable"), 5)
    }
}

Here is the code in swift:

let testClass = TestClass(bundle: Bundle.main)
let testString = "screen_main_plural_string"
let nativeStr = Bundle.main.localizedString(forKey: testString, value: "", table: "Localizable") as NSString

NSLog("swift: %@", NSString.localizedStringWithFormat(nativeStr, 5))
NSLog("kotlin: %@", testClass.localizedStringWithFormat(string: testString))

Output logs:
swift: Plural: 5 apples
kotlin: %#@value@

Does it work if framework is written in Swift?

I didn't check it. But it work if I use following c_interop https://github.com/PocketByte/locolaser-kotlin-mpp-example/blob/master/common/src/iosMain/c_interop/LocalizedPlural.def
