Bring over Mixpanel-swift extension solution to Mixpanel-iPhone

[cerupcat]

The swift library has replaced references of UIApplication with its own implementation in order to have single podspec/API that will work for both extensions and the main app (required for cocoapods use_frameworks!). It'd be nice to bring over this solution to the mixpanel-iPhone project. mixpanel/mixpanel-swift@8552970

@cerupcat we'll definitely do this at some point.

@pchien great! Just wanted to make sure it was on the radar. :)

Any news there? Would really like to track extension events using mixpanel :).

Update: I was able to get things working using an app extension using

pod 'Mixpanel/AppExtension'

I had to comment out pod 'Mixpanel' on the main app target before I ran pod install, but after that, I was able to uncomment it and install again using pod install and all worked well.

See: #152

@yagudaev there's a PR for it #715. It'll go into the next release.

The latest solution is to use pod 'Mixpanel-swift-appex' and can be referenced here:
