Any thoughts about using App Startup library to initialize Koin (instead of Application subclass)? https://proandroiddev.com/app-startup-under-the-hood-with-koin-library-example-380e188568ad

One potential issue with this is that when calling koin’s androidContext() function, we pass in the Context given by the App Startup library (see Initializer.create(Context)). From my initial testing, this appears to be an Application instance, but since the signature is Context it is not guaranteed.

Whereas, when setting up Koin in Application subclass, we are guaranteed to have an Application instance to pass to androidContext()
