React Native IOS Session Refresh

[Garett-MacGowan]

Bug report

• [X] I confirm this is a bug with Supabase, not with my own application.
• [ ] I confirm I have searched the Docs, GitHub Discussions, and Discord.

Describe the bug

Session refresh works fine on android, but will fail on IOS if the app is backgrounded/inactive for too long.

To Reproduce

Implement refresh logic per the docs

import { AppState } from 'react-native'

// make sure you register this only once!
AppState.addEventListener('change', (state) => {
  if (state === 'active') {
    supabase.auth.startAutoRefresh()
  } else {
    supabase.auth.stopAutoRefresh()
  }
})

Wait for ~1 hour, notice that user is no longer authenticated.

Expected behavior

Session refresh should work.
