The device_id value changes with each request to Segment within the same session

[jedashford]

On Android, every batch request of events that fire to segment have different device_id's. We use braze in device mode with segment and events going to braze are consistent with a specific device_id, but it doesn't match the device_id segment sends, with the addition that every batch of requests sent out from our application have different device_ids.

Our iOS and Web applications have consistent device_ids across segment and braze with the device_id staying consistent through multiple batch requests and app resets.

We've tried an emulator and a physical device.

Here is one batched request in a session

Here is the next batch request in the same session with the device_id being changed. This will continue changing with each batched request.

• analytics-react-native version:
  "@segment/analytics-react-native": "2.3.2",
  "@segment/sovran-react-native": "0.2.8",
• Integrations versions (if used):
  "react-native-appboy-sdk": "1.36.0",
  "@segment/analytics-react-native-plugin-braze": "0.3.0",
• React Native version:
  0.69.1
• iOS or Android or both?
  Issue is only with Android.

Steps to reproduce
Install the SDKs, open the app, inspect the events fired by segment

Expected behavior
device_id stays consistently the same and matches any plugin's device_id

Actual behavior
device_id constantly changes with each request to segment
