react native push notifications ios not calling onnotification - ios

Question

I recently updated react native to 0.66.4 and along with that react-native-push-notification and #community/react-native-push-notification-ios to their latest versions. Android is working perfectly, but ios is refusing to handle push notifications.
While the app is closed, I am able to receive push notifications, but when tapped, the app opens and onNotification is never called. If I send a test push notification while the app is opened, onNotifcation is never called either.
I have since tried switching over to react-native-firebase/messaging and am getting the same scenario.
I have ios setup to handle push notifications and background fetch etc, as it was working before upgrading react native.
Was working with:
"#react-native-community/push-notification-ios": "^1.8.0",
"react": "17.0.1",
"react-native": "^0.64.2",
"react-native-push-notification": "7.2.0",
not working with
Package.json
"#react-native-firebase/app": "^15.2.0",
"#react-native-firebase/messaging": "^15.2.0",
"react": "17.0.2",
"react-native": "^0.66.4",
