utf-8 and string resources

i have a problem with german umlauts (öäü) in string resources:

whenever i get the app from the ciq store (iq file) i only get "?" instead of umlauts while it works fine when i sideload the app or test in the simulator.

this happened before (see https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/i/bug-reports/connect-mobile-and-utf-8-for-app-settings) and seemed to be fixed with SDK 3.2.3 but now using SDK 4.1.7 it re- appeared...

    of course i cant say for sure but it looks the same for me - umlauts do not show anywhere (so internal fonts but also the property choices in garmin connect mobile) when they come from a string resource and i installed the app via the store (this way i still get correct umlauts shown when they have been received as http json response for example).

    when i build the prg and sideload the app it works as epxpected. same for the simulator.

    this leads me to think the iq build somehow treats strings.xml different the the prg build ...

    (still wondering why this only seems to be happening to me)
