- Replace 404 links for Metro (facebook.github.io/metro), RAM bundles (docs page removed) and React Test Renderer (Jest tutorial removed) - Remove the GeeksforGeeks link, which the contributing guide disallows - Point Async Storage links at the community package instead of the reactnative.dev page that now says it was removed from core - Update environment setup links to the current "Set Up Your Environment" and "Get Started Without a Framework" pages - Add official resources to topics that had none: Testing, View, Listings, ListViews, Understand Frame Rates - Add React Native DevTools, NetInfo, Fetch API and WebSocket docs where the topic only linked a generic article - Tighten outdated sentences (LogBox, RAM bundles, react-test-renderer deprecation, community CLI) without lengthening descriptions

Why React Native?
React Native is a popular framework for developing native mobile applications using JavaScript (or TypeScript) and React, offering several compelling advantages for mobile app development. Key benefits include code reusability, allowing developers to share a significant portion of the codebase between iOS and Android, which reduces development time and simplifies maintenance. It leverages familiar React concepts, making it accessible for those already experienced with ReactJS, as it applies similar principles of components and state management. React Native provides near-native performance by directly interacting with native components, avoiding intermediaries like WebView. The framework benefits from a vast ecosystem and community support, with numerous libraries and tools that enhance the development process, bolstered by contributions from major companies like Facebook. Additionally, hot reloading enables developers to see code changes in real-time on devices or emulators, streamlining the development workflow. Finally, React Native can be integrated into existing applications, allowing for flexible enhancements to specific parts of an app.
