Adapter network information

[COMPONENT: AdapterInfoTable]

Unreal Engine requires that you manually integrate third-party frameworks for iOS. It does not support dependency managers like CocoaPods. The MAX Unreal GitHub repository includes a Python script — install_pods.py — to assist with automatically installing dependencies from a Podfile. This script downloads AppLovin adapters and third-party dependencies, and configures your project with build settings to link them.
