aFunctionThatIsCalledWhenYourAppInits = () => {
    const APP_NAME = 'example-app';                 // Unique identifier of the application
    const LOGGING_URL = 'http://mylogger.com';      // Url for sending logs to
    const DEBUG = false;                            // If set to true, will log requests before sending them
