📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Three podspec files are modified to conditionally include the RCT-Folly dependency based on environment variables (RCT_USE_PREBUILT_RNCORE and RCT_USE_RN_DEP) when using prebuilt React Native core or dependencies. The dependency is only added when neither prebuilt flag is enabled.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Conditional RCT-Folly Dependency packages/noise-cancellation-react-native/stream-io-noise-cancellation-react-native.podspec, packages/react-native-sdk/stream-video-react-native.podspec, packages/video-filters-react-native/stream-io-video-filters-react-native.podspec	Added conditional logic to include RCT-Folly dependency only when prebuilt React Native core and dependencies are not in use. Environment variables RCT_USE_PREBUILT_RNCORE and RCT_USE_RN_DEP determine whether the dependency is added. Includes explanatory comments for the conditional behavior.

Poem

🐰 Three specs now dance with logic bright,
Checking flags both left and right,
RCT-Folly joins the fold—
Only when prebuilt's not cold! ✨
Dependencies made conditional and clean,
The wisest pods we've ever seen!
