Some signals get sent even with analyticsDisabled config option

[daprice]

If, in a SwiftUI lifecycle app, I add the following in the init() of the App…

var config = TelemetryDeck.Config(appID: “redacted")
config.analyticsDisabled = true
TelemetryDeck.initialize(config: config)

I still occasionally see log messages like "Sending 1 signals leaving a cache of 0 signals”. It looks like this config option does avoid sending any signals when I call TelemetryDeck.signal(…). However, signals from TelemetryDeck.errorOccurred(…) and the internal TelemetryDeck.Session.started signal are still sent and show up on TelemetryDeck’s Recent Signals page.

My use case is that I have a toggle in my settings screen for users to opt out of analytics. Initializing TelemetryDeck with Config.analyticsDisabled seemed like an appropriate way to honor this without having to add a check everywhere that I send a signal.

Workaround

As an easy workaround, I just made a wrapper around TelemetryDeck that avoids calling TelemetryDeck.initialize(), .signal(…) or .errorOccurred(…) if it should be disabled.

@daprice Thank you for reporting this! I'm sorry for introducing this issue, it's an oversight in some internal restructuring. But I just fixed it in #211 which should be merged and released in the next version soon!
