flutter – iOS background handler not getting invoked for Firebase push notifications in launch mode

I’ve an issue the place the background handler for Firebase push notifications isn’t invoked once I ship a message within the TestFlight launch of my app. The foreground handler appears to work nice, however the background handler does not.

Here is the message payload I am sending:

{
    "registration_ids": "$ids",
    "notification": {
        "physique": "$physique",
        "title": "$title",
        "subtitle": "$subtitle",
        "badge": 0,
        "sound": "default"
    },
    "information": {
        "quantity": "120"
    },
    "apns": {
        "payload": {
            "aps": {
                "mutable-content": 1,
                "content-available": 1
            }
        }
    }
}

My Dart code is as follows:

void foremost() async {
  // Initialization and different code
  FirebaseMessaging.onMessage.pay attention((RemoteMessage message) async {
    // ... foreground dealing with code which works nice
  });
  
  FirebaseMessaging.onBackgroundMessage(backgroundHandler);
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

@pragma('vm:entry-point')
Future<void> backgroundHandler(RemoteMessage message) async {
  await ApiCall.check();
  await HomeWidget.saveWidgetData<String>('quantity', message.information["amount"]);
  await HomeWidget.updateWidget(title: 'HomeWidgetProvider', iOSName: 'HomeWidget');
}

It is value noting that:

The ApiCall.check() perform logs to my server, and I do not see any logs when the app is within the background, which implies the handler is not invoked.
The HomeWidget capabilities deal with updating a widget on the iOS house display.
The foreground handler (inside onMessage.pay attention) is working completely. The problem is simply with the background handler.

Any insights on why the background handler may not be getting invoked could be tremendously appreciated.
