Description

build.json:

  "ios": {
    "debug": {
      ...
      "buildFlag": [
        "-allowProvisioningUpdates"
      ]
    },
    "release": {
      ...
      "buildFlag": [
        "-allowProvisioningUpdates"
      ]
    }
  },

when running the following command:

cordova build ios --release --device --buildConfig="build.json" --verbose

cordova build shows that the build flag is detected:

Adding xcodebuildArg: -allowProvisioningUpdates

BUT it doesn't pass on the build flag to xcodebuild - as shown in the argument list to xcodebuild on an error:

Error: Error code 70 for command: xcodebuild with args: -exportArchive,-archivePath,DemoApp.xcarchive,-exportOptionsPlist,/demo/platforms/ios/exportOptions.plist,-exportPath,/demo/platforms/ios/build/device
