[🐛] [🔥 ] Unable to receive notifications on iOS from firebase console.

[josh-the-dev]

Issue

Describe your issue here

Currently we are experiencing some weird behaviour when we are trying to send notifications via the firebase console to all users of our application. They are unable to receive notifications through the firebase console exclusively on the iOS application. Android is working completely fine. Also if we use device tokens we are able to send to the iOS devices no problem as well (I can use the "test message" feature and send fine to the iOS device in question).
