Research direction

Read the troubleshooting documentation that describes the iOS 16.x warning and compare it with the RN 0.83 bare template’s min_ios_version_supported value of 15.1. Update the troubleshooting guidance to cover the pod install failure on iOS versions below 17. The issue is addressed when the docs explain this failure and how it relates to the required minimum deployment target; pull request #1626 is already open.
