Resolving errors for Logger backend on application start?

[kenny-evitt]

I created a question on Stack Overflow for this:

• elixir - Resolving errors on application start for Logger backend and one of its dependencies not being initialized? - Stack Overflow

The first answer pointed out that the backend is not in fact an Elixir application and thus shouldn’t be included in the :applications key in the application/0 function in mix.exs. Unfortunately, removing it doesn’t seem to resolve these errors.
