Thank you.
I would like to know whether the SimpleDateFormatter implementation is
overridden by the user settings.
I read in Apple documentation that despite the format string, some values
can be changed on behalf of the user, like when 24H format is replaced with
AM/PM.
So is the implementation override-prone?
I am asking this because I think Android does not override and I rely on
that on the Android platform, I read also the documentation and I do not
remember having read something like that.
But iOS does so, and this could impact my app. It is important for me to
know.
