AWS ivs documentation change
Summary
Updated iOS SDK integration instructions to prioritize Swift Package Manager over CocoaPods with deprecation notice
Security assessment
While not fixing an active vulnerability, the change promotes a more secure package management approach (Swift Package Manager) and warns about CocoaPods' maintenance status. This qualifies as security-adjacent documentation improvement.
