Research direction

Open src/pages/deployment/app-store.md and compare the iOS release command with the other platform commands and the issue's explanation of --prod and --release. Confirm whether the documented command should include --release; done means the documentation is corrected if the omission is unintended, or the reason is clarified.

(source at src/pages/deployment/app-store.md)

The build command for a release build states
ionic cordova build ios --prod

while every other platform is documented as:
ionic cordova build <platform> --prod --release

Is there a reason why --release was omitted here? After all, --prod is just an alias for underlying configuration selection (--configuration=production), but it's the --release flag that is used by cordova to mark a release build (and then pass it onto respective cordova-ios, cordova-android, etc.
