SKSpriteNode shadow rendering incorrectly? - ios

Question

I'm using Xcode 11.4.1 and Swift 5.2.2, and I am trying cast a shadow using an SKLightNode onto a circular SKSpriteNode.
However, the shadow is cast over the rectangular frame of the SpriteNode rather than the circle image png that I am using.
This is the desired effect
This is what happens
In the first image, I am using a 611x611px circle png while in the second I am using a 612x612 png. I have found that this "corner shadow" happens only when using specific image dimensions to create the SpriteNode.
Specifically, through my testing, square images with size <688px and >601px display no corner shadow, except sizes exactly 612 and 608. I am testing this in a playground but the same problem occurs in a full xcodeproj.
What have I done wrong here? I doubt my code is the issue but here it is:
import PlaygroundSupport
import SpriteKit
class GameScene: SKScene {
override func didMove(to view: SKView) {
let background = SKSpriteNode(color: UIColor.blue, size: frame.size)
background.zPosition = 0
background.position = CGPoint(x: frame.midX, y: frame.midY)
background.lightingBitMask = 1
addChild(background)
let light = SKLightNode()
light.zPosition = 100
light.categoryBitMask = 1
light.falloff = 0.5
light.lightColor = UIColor.white
light.position = CGPoint(x: frame.midX, y: frame.midY)
addChild(light)
let sprite = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "612.png")
sprite.color = UIColor.yellow
sprite.colorBlendFactor = 1
sprite.zPosition = 3
sprite.position = CGPoint(x: frame.midX, y: frame.midY + 100)
sprite.size = CGSize(width: 100, height: 100)
sprite.physicsBody = SKPhysicsBody(circleOfRadius: 50)
sprite.physicsBody?.categoryBitMask = 2
sprite.shadowCastBitMask = 1
sprite.lightingBitMask = 1
sprite.physicsBody?.isDynamic = false
addChild(sprite)
}
}
let sceneView = SKView(frame: CGRect(x:0 , y:0, width: 640, height: 480))
let scene = GameScene()
scene.scaleMode = .aspectFill
scene.size = sceneView.frame.size
sceneView.presentScene(scene)
PlaygroundSupport.PlaygroundPage.current.liveView = sceneView
