Summary: Having React Native support every Apple platform is tough to achieve as it introduces many platform-specific ifdefs. On the other side, maintaining an OOT platform fork is already a demanding job, so to make it easier I propose adding ifdefs for iOS-specific code. Thanks to this change, OOT platforms can focus on their OS-specific features while the core is also adding iOS-specific features behind ifdefs. Fortunately, **most of the code on Apple platforms can be shared** and this PR aims to introduce better support for this and to minimize OOT fork's surface. In this example `RCTDeviceInfo.mm` has support for handling orientation changes and the availability of this feature across Apple OS looks as follows: | Platform | Support | | ------------- | ------------- | | macOS | ❌ | | tvOS | ❌ | | visionOS | ❌ | | iOS/iPadOS | ✅ | Here is a table from `TargetConditionals.h` header file which shows the coverage of `TARGET_OS_IOS` macro. (It supports both iOS and iPadOS)  ## Changelog: <!-- Help reviewers and the release process by writing your own changelog entry.

React Native

React Native brings React's declarative UI framework to iOS and Android. With React Native, you use native UI controls and have full access to the native platform.
- Declarative. React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Declarative views make your code more predictable and easier to debug.
- Component-Based. Build encapsulated components that manage their state, then compose them to make complex UIs.
- Developer Velocity. See local changes in seconds. Changes to JavaScript code can be live reloaded without rebuilding the native app.
- Portability. Reuse code across iOS, Android, and other platforms.
React Native is developed and supported by many companies and individual core contributors. Find out more in our ecosystem overview.

📋 Requirements
React Native apps may target iOS 13.4 and Android 6.0 (API 23) or newer. You may use Windows, macOS, or Linux as your development operating system, though building and running iOS apps is limited to macOS. Tools like Expo can be used to work around this.
🎉 Building your first React Native app
Follow the Getting Started guide. The recommended way to install React Native depends on your project. Here you can find short guides for the most common scenarios:
📖 Documentation
The full documentation for React Native can be found on our website.
The React Native documentation discusses components, APIs, and topics that are specific to React Native. For further documentation on the React API that is shared between React Native and React DOM, refer to the React documentation.
The source for the React Native documentation and website is hosted on a separate repo, @facebook/react-native-website.
🚀 Upgrading
Upgrading to new versions of React Native may give you access to more APIs, views, developer tools, and other goodies. See the Upgrading Guide for instructions.
React Native releases are discussed in this discussion repo.
