Intercept the Start of iOS and Android Application
It’s Not Provided by Default On Your New iOS or Android Project
In In mobile app development, setting up initial configurations for an app is often necessary, but these aren’t provided by default when creating a new project. Experienced developers know where and how to set this up manually, but for newcomers, the correct approach isn’t always obvious, risking one code in the wrong place!
