• [x] I have read the README
• [x] I have done the setup for Android
• [x] I have done the setup for iOS
• [x] I have ran the sample app and it does not work there

Version

Technology	Version
Workmanager version	^0.5.0
Xcode version
Swift version
iOS deployment target

Describe the error I've been working on an app for some time now and ready to push it to release.
I started deploying it to beta testers and for some reason the debug notification shows up on every one of their phones.
Same thing happens to me while running the app in release mode

This is my code

TaskScheduler() {
    Workmanager().initialize(
      // The top level function, aka callbackDispatcher
      taskActions,
      // isInDebugMode: false // false by default, even if set manually doesn't help
    );
  }

After pushing an update with isInDebugMode: false it still shows the notification.

I found that workmanager is initialized once. So in order to disable debug mode you should clear data and start app with isInDebugMode false or just remove it (and it will pickup default value, which is false as you mentioned). Works fine for me with this scenario with 0.5.1 workmanager.

I am considering to drop debug mode - or have it considerably redone. It currently forces users of this library into declaring POST_NOTIFICATION permissions on Android and realistically is code that should never land in production apps.

I got the same issue, even in the production the notifications want to be disabled, worse experience with this plugin, considering not using this anymore.

For future devs be careful before using this plugin.
