When I test the app using a TestFlight version built by the CI machine, the device receives push notifications.
But when I rebuild the app under Xcode locally with the debugger connected, the device doesn't receive any push notifications.
To validate things further I again tested locally with a push notifications tester, and the device indeed received a push notification.
So the code isn't omitted due to it being a #DEBUG build as the grant and registrations pass.
What is my local build possibly missing?

Go to iOS' settings → "Your app name" → Notifications to ensure notifications are enabled for your app. You will need to restart your app after enabling push notifications. If you find a recent install with a push token in the debug tool, make sure your app is not opened in the foreground during your tests.
An iOS push notification is a message that pops up on an Apple device such as an iPhone. Before receiving push notifications from an app, iOS device users must explicitly give permission. Once a user opts-in, mobile app publishers can send push notifications to the users' mobile devices.
When you build your app in debug locally your app will generate a unique device token that doesn't receive production push notifications. When you build your app with a distribution provisioning profile it generates a different device token that does work on production.
Apple will reject a development device token unless you are specifically requesting a push notification using your APNS Sandbox certificate.
So if you haven't already you'll have to go through the certificate creation process all over again but this time for a sandbox certificate and use that one instead.
