Exclude properties from DeviceInfo about appcenter-sdk-android

[DmitriyKirakosyan]

Hello @NikolaDespotoski, thank you for getting in touch!
Regrettably, we don't have a public API available for modifying or restricting the property carrierName.
There is API for changing carrierCountry (ie. countryCode), please check https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/sdk/analytics/android#country-code.

Did your workaround prove successful? If not, one option you might consider is forking the repository and creating a custom version of the SDK that includes the changes you need.

I managed to override the country using setCountryCode() static API, but nothing more than that.

Overriding log factories works, but somehow in the app center local db the device record is still written with country and carrier name, although the object coming from the factories has different Device object.

It would be great if a factory for the Device exist.

Is this on your roadmap? or maybe I can make a PR?

We currently do not have this feature on our roadmap. Contributions are welcome, though it's a bit more complex than it appears. We aim for consistent functionality across all SDKs, including those for Apple, .NET, and ReactNative. One approach might be to implement changes in the Android SDK first and monitor feedback before applying similar updates to others. This needs to be discussed within the team. In the meantime, submitting a PR is fine. If you have the time and are willing, your contribution would be appreciated, and we will review it. Even if it isn't merged, you can still utilize the changes in your own fork.
