 - `about_text` - this is a custom text that is placed in the "About section" describing what the application is about. It is not supporting html tags, but new lines can be added with '\n'.
 - `app_name` - Name of the app, as it will appear on device, and in App Store
 - `app_store_id` - this should to be taken from the developer.apple.com, where the application release is prepared. Note you can use the app_store_id even if the app is not yet released. The id is used within the app in the "Rate the app" section, so users can be redirected to a specific app in the App Store, to rate it.
+- `development_team` - this is the development team id used for the build, it can be found in the relevant Apple Development Account (for apps under the Kiwix organisation it will be the same value: L7HWM3SP3L)
 - `enforced_lang` - ISO 639-1 language code (eg: en, de, he) if it is set, it will include only this language in the final app, meaning no other languages can be selected (on iOS) for the application UI. See the current list of supported languages [already translated in the main repo](https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-apple/tree/main/Support). When using this option, make sure that [the translation coverage](https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:MessageGroupStats/kiwix-apple?group=kiwix-apple&messages=&suppressempty=1&x=D) is 100% for the enforced language.
 
     If enforced_lang is not added to the info.json file, all languages will be supported by the app, just like in Kiwix.
