💡 Motivation and Context
captureApplicationLifecycleEventswas disabled by default, requiring explicit opt-in. This changes the default totrueso lifecycle events are captured out of the box.Additionally, the Android manifest config key is aligned with iOS:
com.posthog.posthog.CAPTURE_APPLICATION_LIFECYCLE_EVENTScom.posthog.posthog.TRACK_APPLICATION_LIFECYCLE_EVENTS(still supported for backward compatibility)The new key is checked first; if not present, the legacy key is used. If neither is set, defaults to
true.The changeset includes instructions on how to disable lifecycle events for users who don't want them.
💚 How did you test it?
Manual verification of manifest key resolution logic and default values on Android and iOS.
