   - Enables deeper Android metadata enrichment using Android platform APIs through JNI bindings.
   - On Android, this can add metadata such as traffic stats, DNS servers, DHCP hints, and Wi-Fi link speed when the app provides the required Android context and permissions.

 ## Apple behavior
-`netdev` links `SystemConfiguration.framework` automatically on `macOS` and `iOS` through the crate's own build script.
-If your final app link is performed by Xcode, you may still need to add `SystemConfiguration.framework` to the app target manually.

+If your app is ultimately linked by Xcode, you may still need to add `SystemConfiguration.framework` to the app target manually.
 
 ## Android behavior
 If you want Android-specific values such as DNS servers, DHCP hints, or Wi-Fi link speed, your app may still need to initialize the Android context for Rust and declare Android permissions such as `ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` and `ACCESS_WIFI_STATE`.
