Configure Lifecycle Tracking in React Native

Use initialize(...) and pass lifecycleTrackingOptions.

import { initialize } from "reteno-react-native-sdk";

await initialize({
  apiKey: "YOUR_SDK_ACCESS_KEY",
  lifecycleTrackingOptions: {
    appLifecycleEnabled: true,
    foregroundLifecycleEnabled: false,
    pushSubscriptionEnabled: true,
    sessionStartEventsEnabled: true,
    sessionEndEventsEnabled: false,
  },
});

You can also pass shortcut values:

"ALL" to enable all lifecycle categories
"NONE" to disable all lifecycle categories
