BackgroundFetch.status is always returning 1 https://pub.dev/documentation/background_fetch/latest/background_fetch/BackgroundFetch/STATUS_DENIED-constant.html but my background app settings are definitely turned on, According to the documentation, this should result in 2 https://pub.dev/documentation/background_fetch/latest/background_fetch/BackgroundFetch/STATUS_AVAILABLE-constant.html
What could be the reason for this discrepancy?

Plugin Code and/or Config

BackgroundFetchConfig(
      minimumFetchInterval: 20,
      startOnBoot: true,
      stopOnTerminate: false,
      enableHeadless: true,
      forceAlarmManager: true,
      requiresStorageNotLow: false,
      requiresBatteryNotLow: false,
      requiresCharging: false,
      requiresDeviceIdle: false,
      requiredNetworkType: NetworkType.NONE,
    )

There is both a global and app-specific setting.
