App not opening when tapping on rich push notification action button *EVEN WITH .FOREGROUND*

Question

I'm implementing rich push notifications with two action buttons using a notification service extension. however I experienced an issue when tapping on the action button app does not launch.

override func didReceive(_ request: UNNotificationRequest, withContentHandler contentHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationContent) -> Void) {
    ...
    let acceptAction = UNNotificationAction(identifier: "accept", title: "accept".localized, options: [.foreground])
    let rejectAction = UNNotificationAction(identifier: "reject", title: "reject".localized, options: [.destructive])

    let newTripRequestCategory = UNNotificationCategory(identifier: "my_category", actions: [acceptAction, rejectAction], intentIdentifiers: [], options: [])
                
    let notificationCenter = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
notificationCenter.setNotificationCategories([newTripRequestCategory])

    bestAttemptContent.categoryIdentifier = "my_category"
}

Even though my actions identifiers are perfectly configured and user response is received in the app delegate and handled inside the userNotification(... didReceive) method like so:

func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter,
                                didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse) async {
    let userInfo = response.notification.request.content.userInfo
    print("didReceive: userInfo: \(userInfo)")
        
    guard let tripRequestID = userInfo["tripRequestID"] as? String else {
        return
    }
        
    guard let id = Int(tripRequestID) else {
        return
    }
        
    switch response.actionIdentifier {
    case "accept":
        TripRepo.acceptTripRequest(id: id) { _ in } failed: { _ in }
    case "reject":
        TripRepo.rejectTrip(id: id, feedback: "rejected from notification pannel") { _ in } failed: { _ in }
    default: break
    }
        
    if let messageID = userInfo[gcmMessageIDKey] {
        print("Message ID: \(messageID)")
    }
    print(userInfo)
}

• I added UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self inside application(... didFinishLaunchingWithOptions)
• I added .foreground in the UNNotificationActionOptions
