Summary

Update README.md and link to our official doc for integration. Update CONTRIBUTING.md to include instruction for building example app with card scanning.

Motivation

Card scanning is now available on Android with React Native, and the documentation needed to be updated to reflect this new capability. This change ensures developers are aware that card scanning is supported on both platforms and can properly set it up for their Android applications.

Testing

  • I tested this manually
  • I added automated tests

I'm very open on the wording here, but I think it should be touched up since the proposed one makes it sound like card scanning is only provided on Android
