[Drift] React Native SDK adds Swift Package Manager support for iOS (powersync-js #1076) #576

Description

@benitav

What's changing: The React Native SDK's iOS native module now supports Swift Package Manager (SPM) as an additional installation method, alongside the existing CocoaPods support (requires React Native 0.87.0 or later).

High priority — existing docs are now inaccurate or incomplete
None identified.

For reviewer consideration — worth documenting

  • New experimental SPM installation path for the React Native SDK's iOS integration. The React Native SDK install instructions (snippets/react-native/installation.mdx, included into client-sdks/reference/react-native-and-expo.mdxhttps://docs.powersync.com/client-sdks/reference/react-native-and-expo#installation) currently cover only the npm/yarn/pnpm install step and say nothing about iOS integration method, so this is a net-new addition rather than a correction. The Capacitor SDK's install snippet (snippets/capacitor/installation.mdx) already documents dual iOS integration methods ("both Swift Package Manager (SPM) and CocoaPods are supported") and could serve as a phrasing reference.
