cordova build ios --device --release

you should have a file called build.json in cordova. In build.json, the content should like this

  "ios": {
    "debug": {
       "codeSignIdentitiy": "iPhone Development",
       "provisioningProfile": "*****"
    },
   "release": {
     "codeSignIdentitiy": "iPhone Distribution",
     "provisioningProfile": "******"
   }
 }
