Automate Dependency Management With Autolinking

React Native libraries often include native code for iOS and Android, historically requiring manual linking steps beyond a simple yarn add. Autolinking, introduced by the React Native team, automates this process by hooking into CocoaPods (iOS) and Gradle (Android) build systems. Instead of manually registering packages in settings.gradle, build.gradle, and MainApplication.java, a single CLI call scans package.json and handles all native dependency registration automatically. This supports non-standard project structures like monorepos and eliminates the need for native platform knowledge when adding new packages.
