Expo background fetch not running on iOS

Expo SDK
1

I am having issues getting the background fetch to run (at all) on iOS on a non-ejected SDK 33 project through the client app. It is working just fine on Android. I believe I have followed the steps in the docs correctly but have been unable to get it to run on iOS. I have included a snippet of my code below, if anyone could point out my issue it would be greatly appreciated.

  const startBackgroundTask = async () => { // called from the global scope in app.js
    TaskManager.defineTask(BACKGROUND_FETCH_TASK, async () => {
      Logger.debug(FILE, 'BackgroundTask running');
      try {
        // Do the fetch...
        return BackgroundFetch.Result.NewData;
      } catch (err) {
        Logger.error(FILE, `Error occured while running task: ${err.message}`, err);
        return BackgroundFetch.Result.Failed;
      }
    });

    const status = await BackgroundFetch.getStatusAsync();

    if (status === BackgroundFetch.Status.Restricted || status === BackgroundFetch.Status.Denied) {
      Logger.warn(FILE, 'Background fetch is disabled.');
      return;
    }

    try {
      await BackgroundFetch.registerTaskAsync(BACKGROUND_FETCH_TASK, {
        minimumInterval: INTERVAL,
        stopOnTerminate: true,
        startOnBoot: false,
      });
      await BackgroundFetch.setMinimumIntervalAsync(INTERVAL);
      Logger.debug(FILE, 'Background update task registered.');
    } catch (err) {
      Logger.error(FILE, 'Filed to register task for background.', err);
    }
  }
