Cordova iOS Remote Build Release Mode fail

Building Cordova app via Visual Studio using Remote build. Was using Cordova version 5.3.1, tried updating to the latest version of Cordova too - 6.2.1-nightly.2016.5.23.6e87c71a.

Both times it works in Debug mode but does not work in Release Mode:

Errors - misleading and say nothing whatsoever: https://i.sstatic.net/OmP4V.jpg

Part of the Output: ERROR building one of the platforms : error : /Users/Jurgen/.taco_home/remote-builds/taco-remote/builds/66415/cordovaApp/platforms/ios/cordova/build: Command failed with exit code 2 1> You may not have the required environment or OS to build this project (TaskId:10) 1> Failed to build app for buildNumber 66415: /Users/Jurgen/.taco_home/remote-builds/taco-remote/builds/66415/cordovaApp/platforms/ios/cordova/build: Command failed with exit code 2 (TaskId:10) 1>22:57:03.377 1> 1>Error : Remote build error from the build server Build failed with error /Users/Jurgen/.taco_home/remote-builds/taco-remote/builds/66415/cordovaApp/platforms/ios/cordova/build: Command failed with exit code 2: {1} 1> Done executing task "MdaVsCli" -- FAILED. (TaskId:10) 1>22:57:03.393 1> 1>Done building target "BuildMDA" in project "MobileAppNew.jsproj" -- FAILED.: (TargetId:11)

We are planning to send the app to iOS to be released on the App Store but cannot do the .ipa file. Any help would be appreciated

How I solved this problem:

First of all I didn't manage to build and deploy on a device when using the App Store Production Certificate. I did manage however with the Ad hoc certificate, which is a production certificate with the only difference that you still have to specify the UDID of the devices you will deploy on in the developer account.

I then updated my Cordova version from 5.3.1 to 6.2.0. I updated 2 outdated plugins: Inappbrowser and Phonegap-plugin-push and voila; the app suddenly started to deploy in release mode (via a taco remote build). Weird bit is that I had been using the old version of cordova and never had to update the plugins when running in Debug mode - which was why it took me a bit more time to figure it out! Good luck :)
