Description
Description
React Native 0.60 added the Podfile macro use_react_native!. In 0.63, the macro was added to the template project Podfile, replacing tens of pod lines in the Podfile of a React Native iOS app. (See the change in upgrade-helper.)
However, the Integration with Existing Apps docs page still suggests adding all the pod lines manually. (Worse, it is out of date, missing some pods that the reader basically just has to figure out through trial and error.)
The documentation should just suggest using use_react_native!, like the template project does.

Research direction
Open the Integration with Existing Apps documentation page and compare its Podfile example with the React Native template Podfile and the referenced upgrade-helper change. Update the example to recommend use_react_native! instead of manual pod lines, then verify the next, 0.67 documentation no longer requires readers to infer missing pods.
