Sending App conversion data is not possible

[rominaGYG]

Which SDK version are you using?

16.0.0

What's the issue?

Based on this documentation we should be able to send app data when the action source is set to "app". However, there is no way to do it currently using SDK. Event class here does not expect any app_data field.

Steps/Sample code to reproduce the issue

Observed Results:

To demonstrate more, using playground, if the action_source is set to app, the code generation for Java (and other Languages) looks like this: expected result :

{
    "data": [
        {
            "event_name": "Purchase",
            "event_time": 1676903018,
            "action_source": "app",
            "user_data": {

                ],
                "ph": [
                    null
                ]
            },
            "custom_data": {
                "currency": "USD",
                "value": "142.52"
            },

                    "10.1.1",
                    "OnePlus6",
                    "en_US",
                    "GMT-1",
                    "TMobile",
                    "1920",
                    "1080",
                    "2.00",
                    "2",
                    "128",
                    "8",
                    "USA/New York"
                ]
            }
        }
    ]
}

generated code :

    EventRequest eventRequest = new EventRequest(PIXEL_ID, context)
      .data(events);

    try {
      EventResponse response = eventRequest.execute();
      System.out.printf("Standard API response : %s ", response);
    } catch (APIException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

nowhere in the code is referenced to app_data generation part.

Expected Results:

implementation of app_data in java sdk
