Code Signing Error: Code signing is required for product type 'Application' in SDK 'iOS 11.0'

I am using GitLab CI to automatically build an application for Android and iOS. My command line builds for iOS keeps failing with the error:

Code Signing Error: Code signing is required for product type 'Application' in SDK 'iOS 11.0'

I am using the master branch from cordova-ios GitHub. Since this has the following fix, like stated here: After upgrading to xcode 9, cordova app won't build, error 70, requires provisioning profile

In my build.json I use the following settings:

{
    "android": {
        "debug": {
            "keystore": "config/android.keystore",
            "storePassword": "<pass>",
            "alias": "debug",
            "password" : "<pass>",
            "keystoreType": ""
        },
        "release": {
            "keystore": "config/android.keystore",
            "storePassword": "<pass>",
            "alias": "release",
            "password" : "<pass>",
            "keystoreType": ""
        }
    },
    "ios": {
        "debug": {
            "codeSignIdentity": "iPhone Developer",
            "developmentTeam": "<team id>",
            "packageType": "development",
            "buildFlag": [
                "EMBEDDED_CONTENT_CONTAINS_SWIFT = YES",
                "ALWAYS_EMBED_SWIFT_STANDARD_LIBRARIES=NO",
                "LD_RUNPATH_SEARCH_PATHS = \"@executable_path/Frameworks\""
            ],
            "iCloudContainerEnvironment": "Development"
        },
        "release": {
            "codeSignIdentity": "iPhone Developer",
            "developmentTeam": "<team id>",
            "packageType": "app-store",
            "buildFlag": [
                "EMBEDDED_CONTENT_CONTAINS_SWIFT = YES",
                "ALWAYS_EMBED_SWIFT_STANDARD_LIBRARIES=NO",
                "LD_RUNPATH_SEARCH_PATHS = \"@executable_path/Frameworks\""
            ],
            "iCloudContainerEnvironment": "Production"
        }
    }
}

I do use the iCloudContainerEnvironment because I need push enabled. Als I start the build process using the correct provisioning profile. I do this with the CLI parameter, because I build the app for several different app IDS: cordova build ios --device --provisioningProfile=<uuid>

But no matter what I do or try it does not sign the app and keeps throwing the error.

EDIT:

Based on @Jerry Horton suggestion I added the provisioning profile into the build.json file. I tried it with the profile name and the profile UUID. Both situation throw the following error and no exportOptions.plist is to be found in the platforms/ios/ dir:

Code Signing Error: Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: nl.XXX.loc.app" is Xcode managed, but signing settings require a manually managed profile.

I even removed all the plugins to be sure none of them stand in the way. So my build.json looks like this now:

{
    "android": {
        "debug": {
            "keystore": "config/android.keystore",
            "storePassword": "<pass>",
            "alias": "debug",
            "password" : "<pass>",
            "keystoreType": ""
        },
        "release": {
            "keystore": "config/android.keystore",
            "storePassword": "<pass>",
            "alias": "release",
            "password" : "<pass>",
            "keystoreType": ""
        }
    },
    "ios": {
        "debug": {
            "codeSignIdentity": "iPhone Developer",
            "developmentTeam": "<team id>",
            "provisioningProfile": "<nl.XXX.loc.app or UUID>",
            "packageType": "development",
            "buildFlag": [
                "EMBEDDED_CONTENT_CONTAINS_SWIFT = YES",
                "ALWAYS_EMBED_SWIFT_STANDARD_LIBRARIES=NO",
                "LD_RUNPATH_SEARCH_PATHS = \"@executable_path/Frameworks\""
            ],
            "iCloudContainerEnvironment": "Development"
        },
        "release": {
            "codeSignIdentity": "iPhone Developer",
            "developmentTeam": "<team id>",
            "packageType": "app-store",
            "provisioningProfile": "<nl.XXX.app or UUID>",
            "buildFlag": [
                "EMBEDDED_CONTENT_CONTAINS_SWIFT = YES",
                "ALWAYS_EMBED_SWIFT_STANDARD_LIBRARIES=NO",
                "LD_RUNPATH_SEARCH_PATHS = \"@executable_path/Frameworks\""
            ],
            "iCloudContainerEnvironment": "Production"
        }
    }
}

ExportOptions.plist:

When I manual open op XCode and create an archive/export for debug manually I do get an IPA and within this folder there is an ExportOptions.plist, like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>compileBitcode</key>
    <false/>
    <key>method</key>
    <string>development</string>
    <key>provisioningProfiles</key>
    <dict>
            <key>nl.XXX.loc.app</key>
            <string>nl.XXX.loc.app</string>
    </dict>
    <key>signingCertificate</key>
    <string>iPhone Developer</string>
    <key>signingStyle</key>
    <string>manual</string>
    <key>stripSwiftSymbols</key>
    <true/>
    <key>teamID</key>
    <string>TEAMID</string>
    <key>thinning</key>
    <string>&lt;none&gt;</string>
</dict>
</plist>

I really can't see what is wrong here. Maybe the thinning part?
