This doesn't work yet. The output is always something like "Congratulate Paul to (null) birthday".

@floriankugler just wanted to share my findings: NSStringGenderRuleType finally works starting from iOS 9.0. Better late than never!

This is pretty much the only thing on all of the internet that provides an example for NSStringGenderRuleType...I have filed feedback to Apple to hopefully get their documentation for localization/stringsdict updated. I suggest everyone else does the same! 😄
