Android App should Gracefully Handle Extra SDK Parameters

[Aatish-Molasi]

Currently the Android app does not handle changes to new parameters added to the SDK. We need to handle any new parameters gracefully.

Analyzing the code it seems that the deserialization of json is handled by the SDK (Transport.kt:customClient(...)).

Possible fix would be to add disable(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_IGNORED_PROPERTIES) to JacksonSerializer while setting up the serializer.

install(JsonFeature) {
    serializer = JacksonSerializer() {
        disable(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_IGNORED_PROPERTIES)
    }
}

I have investigated further into this and setting DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_IGNORED_PROPERTIES doesn't seem to resolve this.

Using Gson as JsonFeature does seem to help:

install(JsonFeature) {
    serializer = GsonSerializer()
}

Though, this also introduces some complications which I am still trying to figure out. Once I resolve those I will create a PR for this.
