Steps To Reproduce

I did upgrade to the latest version with the minimum migration from Appboy-SDK.

When running the app then put it into the background and then back again to the foreground (sometimes don't need to back to the foreground ) then I got the log from the Xcode console as below.

[BackgroundTask] Background Task 15021 ("http.client: POST /data"), was created over 30 seconds ago. In applications running in the background, this creates a risk of termination. Remember to call UIApplication.endBackgroundTask(_:) for your task in a timely manner to avoid this.

This issue might cause my app getting to terminate by iOS System.

I'm trying to disable BrazeSDK and never got the log again and my app never gets terminated by iOS System when it is in the background.

I suppose this background task has come from BrazeSDK. Please help me to check on this. Thanks

Expected Behavior

Not receiving the warning log as below from the console when using BrazeSDK

[BackgroundTask] Background Task 15021 ("http.client: POST /data"), was created over 30 seconds ago. In applications running in the background, this creates a risk of termination. Remember to call UIApplication.endBackgroundTask(_:) for your task in a timely manner to avoid this.

Actual Incorrect Behavior
