braintree_android Update kount-data-collector

Currently library uses outdated kount-data-collector

I'm kindly ask you to update it to use fresh version published in Jitpack: https://developer.kount.com/hc/en-us/articles/4777351032084-How-to-Integrate-the-Device-Data-Collector-into-Mobile-Apps-using-Android-Gradle

In our project we already used this lib and now because of the different versions we struggle with a duplicated classes of this lib...

@spinnerx1 thanks for using the Braintree SDK for Android. We're considering removing Kount as a dependency in our next major version.

On the other hand, we have recently changed how Kount is referenced in our latest 4.12.1-SNAPSHOT build. Could you try out this SNAPSHOT version to see if your issue is resolved? A release will follow shortly once we have confirmation that lazy loading Kount resolves the issue.

@sshropshire I checked latest commit and it's good to have loaded dataCollector lazily, althogh it's not about I was asking =) So what's your plan for current jar file? You're going to remove it from 'com.braintreepayments.api:paypal:4.12.0' And possibly have it inside 'com.braintreepayments.api:data-collector:4.12.0' ? Then it will be great to use not jar-file but a dependency from Jitpack

@spinnerx1 oh got it. We are planning to remove Kount in our next major version. I don't have a timeline for when that will be, but we are prioritizing its removal.

@sshropshire Remove completelly??? But we need it for our backend, to collect device data (recieve correlation_id field) According to the docs: https://developer.paypal.com/braintree/docs/guides/premium-fraud-management-tools/client-side/android/v4

@spinnerx1 you'll still receive a correlation_id via our SDK data collector. Kount is a 3rd party tool for the Braintree SDK and we are gradually phasing it out in favor of 1st party data collection.

Hey @spinnerx1 in version 4.15.0 we have a new :PayPalDataCollector module. It has the same interface as :BraintreeDataCollector, and removes Kount as a dependency internally.

If you replace a DataCollector instance with a PayPalDataCollector instance, is this issue resolved?

@sshropshire yes, it should help! Thank you! Will try to update it in a few days =)

@spinnerx1 awesome! Closing this issue for now. Feel free to re-open, or start a new ticket if an issue arises.
