There are certain scenarios where VST tracking should start before a Player instance is created. Currently there is no way to start a Conviva Session without a player instance.
Solution
Extending the API to allow session initialization without a Player instance and adding a possibility to attach a Player instance at a later point in the life-cycle of the session.
Notes
Manual session initialization API already existed and still needs to be used to start VST tracking.
Manual testing instructions
I extended the Sample with a new Start session button. To test this, start the sample but first hit the Release button to stop and destroy the player/session, which automatically starts. (Of comment out setupBitmovinPlayer in viewDidLoad).
Tap Start Session button
Tap Create button
Double check in touchstone that the duration between those two actions is properly tracked as VST.
Checklist
[x] I added an update to CHANGELOG.md file
[x] I ran all the tests in the project and they succeed
