What does this PR do?
Fixes and issue where dates were not being formatted correctly before being sent to Segment. The correct way to handle RFC 3339 with NSDateFormatter is detailed here: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/qa/qa1480/_index.html. The one small change is to include milliseconds as they were there previously. This will still be RFC 3339 compliant as can be seen here: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339#section-5.8.
Where should the reviewer start?
N/A
How should this be manually tested?
Sends some date data through the SDK and verify it is being formatted correctly.
Any background context you want to provide?
After talking to Segment support I learned our date traits were not being sent to Redshift because they were not RFC 3339 compliant. The link to the support ticket is here:
