Description

For our application we're looking to manually control the device information that is recorded for a session. It appears that all the fields we'd like to change exist but are locked behind internal classes.

https://github.com/Countly/countly-sdk-windows/blob/master/countlyCommon/countlyCommon/CountlyBase.cs#L141

Is there any chance there could be an option to set the values in Device.cs through a configuration, or at a minimum remove the internal tag from these fields / classes so they could be extended and overwritten by consuming applications?

I'd be happy to whip up a PR if that is an acceptable idea but there is not bandwidth for it.

Research direction

Start with CountlyBase.cs around line 141 and inspect the related fields and classes in Device.cs. Determine how consuming applications could configure or override the device information recorded for a session, then define and verify a supported public API for that behavior.
