Userpilot SDK callbacks

To gain full control and utilize the full capabilities of the Userpilot SDK in a React Native environment, you can start listening to Userpilot events using the startListeningToUserpilotEvents function from @userpilot/segment-react-native. For example, to handle deep links and other SDK-triggered events, you can implement the appropriate event callbacks like this: 
import {
  startListeningToUserpilotEvents,
  stopListeningToUserpilotEvents,
} from '@userpilot/segment-react-native';

useEffect(() => {
  startListeningToUserpilotEvents({
    onAnalyticsEvent: (event) => {
      console.log('Analytics Event:', event);
    },
    onExperienceEvent: (event) => {
      console.log('Experience Event:', event);
    },
    onNavigationEvent: (event) => {
      console.log('Navigation Event', event);
      if (event?.url) {
        handleDeepLink(event.url);
      }
    },
  });

  return () => stopListeningToUserpilotEvents();
}, [handleDeepLink]);
