Install failing when trying to submit analytics

How frequently does the bug occur?

Always

Description

When I install my application on a PaaS provider (monorepo), it fails at the postinstall step of realm because it's unable to submit analytics.

It tries to read a file named dependencies.yml but it's not present in the location where it tries to read it from.

In submit-analytics.ts, a small change could be made to avoid this at all : moving the check of whether analytics is disabled or not at the beginning of the function, way before the call to collectPlatformData().

This way, it won't even take time computing platform data just to return a few lines after, and by the same occasion prevent this kind of issue where analytics blocks a whole deployment pipeline.
