Opt out event reported as $opt_in

[argenkiwi]

I am new to the Mixpanel SDK for Android. I added some logic to allow users to opt in and out of event tracking. However, when I enable logging for Mixpanel and I make a call to the optOutTracking() method the logs show the following:

{
  "event": "$opt_in",
  "properties": {
    ...
  },
  "$mp_metadata": {
    ...
  }
}

Should the event key be $opt_out? Is it worth raising an issue for this?

Hmm, I'm wondering if you are using the optInTracking function in your code shown here. By default, I believe all users are optin until they are opted out, I would probably raise an issue on the github repo here if you are opting a user out but you still see there data and the event $opt_in is being sent.

I would try to look at your code and see if you are calling any other methods to opt in or opt out users.
