Summary of Changes

Hello @AustinBenoit, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the desktop analytics SDK by introducing new APIs for checking initialization status and controlling debug mode. It ensures these desktop-specific features are gracefully handled on other platforms with NO-OP implementations. Additionally, the PR refines app lifecycle state tracking and logging level definitions, improving the overall robustness and clarity of the analytics SDK.

Highlights

• Desktop Analytics API Extension: Introduced IsDesktopInitialized() to check the SDK's initialization status and SetDesktopDebugMode(bool enabled) to control debug logging, specifically for desktop platforms.
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Provided NO-OP implementations for IsDesktopInitialized() and SetDesktopDebugMode() on Android and iOS to maintain API consistency across platforms.
• Enhanced App Lifecycle Tracking: Expanded the AppLifecycleState enum to include kFocused and kUnfocused states, allowing for more granular tracking of application focus.
• Integration Test Coverage: Added new integration tests (TestDesktopInitialization, TestDesktopDebugMode) to validate the functionality of the newly introduced desktop analytics features.
• Header and Enum Refinements: Updated header file naming conventions from _PUBLIC_ to _PRERELEASE_ and standardized GoogleAnalytics_LogLevel enum values with explicit assignments and documentation.

Code Review

This pull request adds IsInitialized and SetDebugMode support to the desktop analytics SDK. The changes include adding the new functions to the public C++ and C APIs, implementing them for the desktop platform, and providing no-op stubs for Android and iOS. New integration tests are also added to verify the functionality on desktop.

My review has identified a couple of points. First, the stub implementation for IsDesktopInitialized seems to have incorrect logic for when the analytics DLL is not loaded. Second, there are breaking changes to the public C API enums that are not mentioned in the PR description. These changes, while good practice, should be acknowledged as they affect API compatibility.

You might want to remove the "enabled" part, just so anything that warns about unused parameters doesn't complain. Also in the other stub implementations
