Add better better support for sending events in the background #359

Open brototyp opened 4 years ago

  2. Uploading events using a background URLSession. Downside of this approach is that a background session doesn't guarantee timely execution of the request and doesn't give us too much / enough control over how requests are sent or re-sent.
  3. Starting a background task before transmitting and ending it right after. This is the approach taken in this PR:
