I think we need to file a separate bug and change it to `en-US` or remove it. I think remove it is better, since no need to set it to default value.

For example application is only in German language, then this value should be set to German language ID. I think it might make sense to file a bug to investigate if we want to provide CLI option to specify value for `CFBundleDevelopmentRegion` similar to `--mac-app-category`. Any suggestions?

Please file a bug to address the hardcoded value of the `CFBundleDevelopmentRegion`. We may decide later what to do with it: change it to `en-US`, remove it, or add a new cli option to set it.
