    • The guide includes instructions for all necessary dependencies, platform-specific setup for iOS and Android, and a clear workflow for adding new features.
    • Ensured all table of contents links are fully functional for easy navigation.
  • Updated README.md:

    • A new "Contributing" section has been added to the main README.
    • This section links directly to the new MACOS_DEVELOPMENT.md guide and invites contributions for Windows and Linux development guides.
