Documents the two feature flags that route CSS transitions to platform animation APIs. ANDROID_CSS_PLATFORM_TRANSITIONS was missing from the page entirely, and the IOS_CSS_CORE_ANIMATION description still said opacity was the only routed property, which stopped being true a few releases ago.

Since both flags enable the same feature, they now share one section that says which flag covers which platform and keeps the common part in one place: what routing means, a table of the properties each platform routes, and the conditions that keep a property on the loop (unsupported property, transition callbacks on the component, or an easing Core Animation cannot express).

Also adds the Android flag to the About screen in the example app, where every other static flag is already listed.

ANDROID_CSS_PLATFORM_TRANSITIONS was undocumented and the IOS_CSS_CORE_ANIMATION
description still claimed opacity was the only routed property.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7c1e7

The PR documents platform-routed CSS transitions and adds the Android flag to the example app without changing runtime behavior. It is mergeable with owner awareness that existing iOS documentation links may change and that the routing table should clarify the PlatformColor exception to avoid misleading users.
