have you checked background mode in target capabilities? – Yoel Jimenez del valle
Are you using background processing? If not then remove the Capability. If you are then you need to add the identifier your are using when you create your background processing task as per the answer – Paulw11
@Paulw11 thank you so much. I had the background processing checked without noticing. I turned it off and it worked. Thank you – Mustafa Aljaburi

Add this in your info.plist and then resubmit your app

<key>BGTaskSchedulerPermittedIdentifiers</key>
<array>
    <string>com.yourCompanyName.appName</string>
</array>

Or Even Better:

<key>BGTaskSchedulerPermittedIdentifiers</key>
<array>
    <string>$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER)</string>
</array>

Best

As it says you need to add "BGTaskSchedulerPermittedIdentifiers" to your info.plist. You have turned on background task capabilities for your app but did not add corresponding identifiers.

  1. Goto your Info.plist file. Hover over any item + button will be highlighted. Click on it to add a new item.
  2. Copy and paste "BGTaskSchedulerPermittedIdentifiers" under the Information Property List column. This will create an array in the Type column.
  3. Click the add button on the item you just created to add background task identifiers for the array.
  4. Note that it is recommended by apple to mention task background task identifier in reverse domain notation(com.something.name).

In the end, it will look like this,
