react-native-background-fetch: It only seems to work while debugging. It won't in release

Your Environment

• Plugin version: ^4.1.9
• Platform: iOS or Android: Android
• OS version: Android 11
• Device manufacturer / model: Oppo A9 2020
• React Native version (react-native -v): 0.70.6
• Plugin config:

Expected Behavior

It should run every 15 minutes on any android devices

Actual Behavior

Does not seem to work as i have a way to check when was last run and its always on default which is “pending…” instead of time of last run

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install react native 0.70.6
2. Maybe use same phone or similar android version
3. Test check in release mode not debug mode
4. See if runs and all ok

Context

I am trying to run a task every 15 minutes, a simple function will get called that has api to call the server for latest data, basically syncing users local db with remote db.

Debug logs

include iOS / Android logs

• iOS: XCode logs,
• Android: $ there is none as this is in release/production mode and no issues in debug mode

Code

import React, {
  useContext,
  createContext,
  useCallback,
  useState,
  useEffect,
} from 'react';
import BackgroundFetch from 'react-native-background-fetch';
import {backgroundDataGetter} from './accountHelper';

const DailyTaskHookContext = createContext({});

export const DailyTaskContextProvider = ({children}) => {
  const [isAuthenticated, setIsAuthenticated] = useState(false);

  useEffect(() => {
    const taskCallback = async taskId => {
      console.log('Background fetch started');
      await backgroundDataGetter();
      BackgroundFetch.finish(taskId);
      console.log('Background fetch finished');
    };

    if (isAuthenticated) {
      BackgroundFetch.configure(
        {
          minimumFetchInterval: 15, // 15 minutes
          stopOnTerminate: false,
          enableHeadless: true,
          forceAlarmManager: true,
          requiredNetworkType: BackgroundFetch.NETWORK_TYPE_ANY,
        },
        taskCallback,
        error => console.log('Background fetch failed to start', error),
      );
      BackgroundFetch.start();
      console.log('Background fetch initiated');
    } else {
      BackgroundFetch.stop();
      console.log('Background fetch stopped');
    }

    return () => {
      BackgroundFetch.stop();
    };
  }, [isAuthenticated]);

  const startDailyTask = useCallback(async () => {
    if (__DEV__ !== true) {
      BackgroundFetch.stop();
      setIsAuthenticated(true);
    }
  }, []);

  const stopDailyTask = useCallback(async () => {
    setIsAuthenticated(false);
  }, []);

  return (
    <DailyTaskHookContext.Provider
      value={{
        startDailyTask,
        stopDailyTask,
      }}>
      {children}
    </DailyTaskHookContext.Provider>
  );
};

export const useDailyTaskHook = () => useContext(DailyTaskHookContext);

i got no idea what is wrong as no error or anything, am i missing something to add for release mode ? thanks.
