Lifecycle events not sent

[lironzemingo]

Hi,
I'm creating the client in the following way:
_analyticsClient = createClient( Configuration(FlavorHelper.getSegmentWriteKey(), trackApplicationLifecycleEvents: true, debug: kDebugMode));
but lifecycle events are not sent properly. only "Application Opened" is sent on app launch, but not "Application Installed" or "Application Backgrounded" .
why is this happening? is the configuration right?

Tested on an Android Samsung S22, Android 13 OS.

Hi @lironzemingo thank you for your report, we start looking into this.

I also don't get Application Installed events.

@edsonjab I think I figured it out. in createClient:

Analytics createClient(Configuration configuration) {
  if (configuration.debug) {
    Analytics.debug = true;
  }
  if (configuration.flushPolicies == null) {
    configuration = setFlushPolicies(configuration, defaultFlushPolicies);
  }

  final analytics = Analytics(configuration, storeFactory());

  if (configuration.debug) {
    analytics.addPlugin(EventLogger());
  }

  analytics.init();
  ScreenObserver().screenStream.listen((name) {
    analytics.screen(name);
  });

  return analytics;
}

you're initializing and persisting the ContextState in the creation of the Analytics() object.
then, you're calling analytics.init() -> _checkInstalledVersion() ->
if (previousContext == null) { track("Application Installed", properties: { "version": context.app.version, "build": context.app.build, }); }
but previousContext will never be null, because it was persisted before, so "Application Installed" will never be tracked.

When is this being merged into main? Currently sitting in a branch
