iOS Archive does not respect release flag

I've spent hours debugging a problem with an IPA and ends ups that the CLI does not respect the --release flag when it does archiving. I have the following in my build.xconfig:

DEVELOPMENT_TEAM = 9832T735TV;

CODE_SIGN_ENTITLEMENTS = <My App>/Resources/app.entitlements;
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY[config=Debug] = iPhone Developer;
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY[config=Release] = iPhone Distribution;

PROVISIONING_PROFILE[config=Debug] = a5ec2d86-9bfb-48e4-b8c0-a75c39a0a5bd;
PROVISIONING_PROFILE[config=Release] = a03834fd-afb5-4bda-a789-c6bda4550ec0;

ASSETCATALOG_COMPILER_APPICON_NAME = AppIcon;
ASSETCATALOG_COMPILER_LAUNCHIMAGE_NAME = LaunchImage;

When I run tns build ios --for-device --release and I inspect the contents of the platforms/ios/build/device/<myapp>.app the embedded.mobileprovision is the correct one (the Release one above). But if I extract the IPA file's Payload and inspect the embeeded.mobileprovision there it is the wrong one (the Debug one above). If I go to platforms/ios/archive and open the archive in XCode and export for AdHoc (for example) the correct provisioning profile is being used.

Expected behavior
The CLI should use the same provision profile when archiving as the one used to build the .app file.

Beginne mit dem Archivierungsablauf tns build ios --for-device --release und vergleiche das in platforms/ios/build/device/<myapp>.app ausgewählte Provisioning-Profil mit dem im extrahierten IPA eingebetteten. Untersuche anschließend die zugehörigen Inhalte unter platforms/ios/archive; fertig ist die Aufgabe, wenn das Archiv dasselbe Release-Profil wie die erstellte App verwendet.
