Which extension do I need to register using registerExtensions API for making Identify, Track and Lifecycle events?

(Query - 1)

As per this Adobe docs, where it mentions:

         MobileCore.setApplication(this);
         MobileCore.configureWithAppID(ENVIRONMENT_FILE_ID);

         List<Class<? extends Extension>> extensions = Arrays.asList(
                 Analytics.EXTENSION, Identity.EXTENSION);
         MobileCore.registerExtensions(extensions, o -> {
             Log.d(LOG_TAG, "AEP Mobile SDK is initialized");
         });

It basically mentions to register Analytics.EXTENSION and Identity.EXTENSION, right.

So my query is that in order to make below events:

1. track (Using this API: "trackState(@NonNull final String state, @nullable final Map<String, String> contextData)")
2. identify (Using this API: "setVisitorIdentifier(@NonNull final String visitorID)")

Do I need to register Analytics.EXTENSION and Identity.EXTENSION or not before using these API's?

(Query - 2)

I'm trying to implement LifeCycle events in Android and referred this Adobe docs, where it suggest this:

MobileCore.setApplication(this);
     List<Class<? extends Extension>> extensions = Arrays.asList(Lifecycle.EXTENSION, ...);
     MobileCore.registerExtensions(extensions, o -> {
        // Any other post registration processing
    });

So my query is that in order to successfully use this two Adobe Lifecycle API's in my app:

MobileCore.lifecycleStart(null);
MobileCore.lifecyclePause();

Do I need to register the Lifecycle.EXTENSION (by calling registerExtensions API) or not. If I don't register this extension will LifeCycle tracking still work or not?

Hi @1abhishekpandey,

Yes you need to register the Analytics Extension and Identity Extension to use the trackState/trackAction APIs. Same applies to Lifecycle. Documents include all dependencies required for each solution so, you will have to follow all the setup steps to successfully implement the SDK.
