fastlane: Deliver: Phased release (phased_release) does not seem to work

New Issue Checklist

Updated fastlane to the latest version
I read the Contribution Guidelines
I read docs.fastlane.tools
I searched for existing GitHub issues

Issue Description

Setting the phased_release parameter of deliver does not set the build to phased release in iTunes Connect.

Command executed

No error as such, just doesn’t set the build to phased release. Sample from the script I’m running which uploads fine:

bundle exec fastlane ios both

Key deliver call here:

    deliver(metadata_path: "fastlane/metadata-ios-alternative",
            skip_metadata: true,
         skip_screenshots: true,
                      ipa: "build/ios-alternative/#{version}/#{build}/ios-alternative.ipa",
           app_identifier: "my.app.id.pro",
        submit_for_review: false,
       reject_if_possible: true,
           phased_release: true)

Complete output when running fastlane, including the stack trace and command used

Bump… just to keep this alive until the recent App Store deliver issues are fixed and I can check on this again

@robmaceachern Making meta data empty and setting skip to false is the correct work around right now 🤔 I’ll look into moving this outside of metadata though! I just need to make sure its backwards compatible enough to make that change 😬

@joshdholtz is it worth creating a new issue for this or can this be re-opened?
