React-native app API calls work on wifi but not on Cellular data

I built and deployed an app using react-native 0.61.4 The app makes calls to a node API for authentication and data. I archived the app for iphone usage, it works great, on wifi. The app seems to loose all knowledge of the api calls once on cellular data. I am using apisause to make the request, I have checked on the phones and all give permission to the app to use cell data, I also change the build scheme from debug to release.

I have request logging enabled on the node server. I see the request coming from the app when wifi is on but nothing when the app attempts to do so on cell signal.

I am stumped, any insights into this would help.

thanks!
