Decision log

[April 12, 2023]

• In an effort to move the xmpt-iOS SDK into a cocoapod to support the native bridge we will be making an effort to pull unsupported cocoapod support into a rust library. You can read more about React Native Bridge and Swift Package Manager here: https://github.com/react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals/issues/587
• As a stop gap we will be releasing a new react native quick starter app that shows a simple webview implementation that calls through to xmpt-js.
