`device.id` is `null` on Android

[Kerumen]

On Android, we have null for the device.id key.

"device": {
  "id": null,
  "manufacturer": "Google",
  "model": "Pixel 3",
  "name": "blueline",
  "type": "android"
},

I've tracked it down to the collectDeviceId key which is read in the Java implement of getContextInfo but not passed in the call on the JavaScript side:

analytics-react-native/packages/core/android/src/main/java/com/segmentanalyticsreactnative/AnalyticsReactNativeModule.kt

Line 101 in 829fc80

contextInfo.putString("deviceId", getUniqueId(config.hasKey("collectDeviceId") && config.getBoolean("collectDeviceId")))

analytics-react-native/packages/core/src/context.ts

Line 34 in 829fc80

}: NativeContextInfo = await AnalyticsReactNative.getContextInfo({});

2 questions:

• Why do we need to add a condition to get the deviceId?
• If the condition is necessary, why getContextInfo is not passing the key accordingly?

@Kerumen i believe we made this optional (conditional) because Google has recently changed their consent policy so we can't collect it it automatically anymore. To answer your second question, looks like it might be another bug. Sorry you're running into so many today. I'll add it to the list for this week and keep you posted.

@alanjcharles No worries! That's the purpose of a beta test. Happy to help, don't hesitate to ping me if you have something to try out.
