Description

It seems like the globalization plugin is reporting a wrong Daylight Saving Time data.
Example:
today is 6 november 2017. In Paris there is GMT+1 TimeZone and Daylight Saving time is disabled (switched off, on sunday 29 october 2017).
The plugin instead of returning the following data:
utc_offset: 3600
dst_offset: 0
is returning this data:
utc_offset: 3600
dst_offset: 3600

On IOS it is working as expected:
utc_offset: 3600
dst_offset: 0
(btw: on IOS there is a different issue when DST is active. Maybe will be discussed on another issue).

Anybody knows this issue and working on it?
Thankyou
Carlo
