mixpanel-android Fix MPConfig instance caching to enable SSLSocketFactory assignment

Problem

Users were unable to assign custom SSLSocketFactory using MPConfig.getInstance() because the method always created new instances instead of returning cached ones. This meant that when users tried to configure SSL settings:

MPConfig.getInstance(context, instanceName).setSSLSocketFactory(customFactory);

The configuration would be lost because MixpanelAPI.getInstance() internally called MPConfig.getInstance() and received a different instance.

Root Cause

The issue occurred because:

MPConfig.getInstance(context, instanceName) always called readConfig() which created a new instance
MixpanelAPI internally used MPConfig.getInstance() to get its configuration
These calls returned different MPConfig instances, so user's SSL factory settings were ignored

Solution

Implemented instance caching in MPConfig class:

Instance Cache: Added ConcurrentHashMap<String, MPConfig> to cache instances by unique keys
Cache Key Strategy: Uses packageName:instanceName format (null instanceName becomes "default")
Thread Safety: Implemented double-check locking pattern to prevent race conditions
Backward Compatibility: Zero breaking changes - existing code continues to work unchanged

Key Changes

Before (Broken):

public static MPConfig getInstance(Context context, @Nullable String instanceName) {
    return readConfig(context.getApplicationContext(), instanceName); // Always new instance!
}

After (Fixed):

public static MPConfig getInstance(Context context, @Nullable String instanceName) {
    final String cacheKey = packageName + ":" + (instanceName != null ? instanceName : "default");
    
    MPConfig cachedInstance = sInstanceCache.get(cacheKey);
    if (cachedInstance != null) {
        return cachedInstance; // Return cached instance
    }
    
    synchronized (sInstanceCacheLock) {
        // Double-check locking + cache new instance
        cachedInstance = sInstanceCache.get(cacheKey);
        if (cachedInstance != null) {
            return cachedInstance;
        }
        
        cachedInstance = readConfig(appContext, instanceName);
        sInstanceCache.put(cacheKey, cachedInstance);
        return cachedInstance;
    }
}

Usage (Now Works!)

// This now works correctly:
MPConfig config = MPConfig.getInstance(context, "myInstance");
config.setSSLSocketFactory(myCustomSocketFactory);

MixpanelAPI api = MixpanelAPI.getInstance(context, token, false, "myInstance", false);
// api.getMPConfig() == config (same instance!)
// SSL factory setting is preserved â

Tests Added

Basic caching verification: Ensures same instances returned for same parameters
SSL factory consistency: Validates the exact issue scenario is fixed
Instance isolation: Confirms different instance names get different configs
Thread safety: Verifies concurrent access works correctly
Integration tests: End-to-end validation with MixpanelAPI

Benefits

â Issue Fixed: Users can now successfully assign custom SSLSocketFactory
â Performance: Reduced object creation overhead
â Thread Safe: Concurrent access properly handled
â Backward Compatible: No breaking changes to existing API
â Well Tested: Comprehensive test coverage for all scenarios

Fixes #855.

@copilot Please update the pull request with the following change:
Add a workflow step in .github/workflows/android.yml after the emulator setup to wait for the Android emulator to fully boot before running tests:

    - name: Wait for Emulator to Boot
      run: |
        adb wait-for-device
        adb shell 'while [[ $(getprop sys.boot_completed) != "1" ]]; do sleep 1; done;'

Place this immediately after the reactivecircus/android-emulator-runner step and before any test commands.
