For a Cordova project, what is the difference between the "Distribution" and "Release" configurations?

The MSDN topic for Packaging an app built with Visual Studio Tools for Cordova mentions the "Distribution" configuration, but doesn't elaborate on how it differs from the "Release" configuration. What is the difference between the "Distribution" and "Release" confgurations for a Cordova project?

Distribution configuration is used when creating app package for iOS App store, it will sign the package with distribution profile. It has no relevance for Android and Windows, Windows Phone platform. Release configuration is used for Android and Windows, Windows Phone platform to create app package for Android or Windows store. Currently visual Studio does not filter the configuration based on platform selected like Android, iOS, Windows etc. and therefore all the configuration is listed even though it might not be applicable to particular platform.
