TV documentation fixes needed

[brody4hire]

updated:

On Building For TV Devices web page:

• an internal Android tab seems to have no information
• it looks like some info still needs to be updated now that Apple TV support was moved into the fork
• The internal page URL and title are not consistent (see below)

Out of tree page:

• clarify or revert the changes from PR Add react-native-community/react-native-tvos to out-of-tree-platforms.md #1250 since the tvOS support is a fork and not a separate, out-of-tree module (see Why tvOS is a fork and not a module? react-native-tvos/react-native-tvos#11 & Generation of android directory does not include Javadoc archive react-native-tvos/react-native-tvos#14), my bad

Open question:

I am not certain whether or not Apple TV (tvOS) and Android TV will be supported in the same fork in the future. react-native-tvos/react-native-tvos#14 indicates that this may be the case, maybe the fork should be renamed if it will cover both tvOS and Android TV.

cc @rachelnabors, the Building For TV Devices is out of date - starting with 0.62 users will need to begin using https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-tvos to develop TV devices.

Hi @brodybits, can you elaborate on that? What is still missing in the TV devices docs?

[brody4hire]

The info in the tvOS tab still seems to have information like this:

• Native layer: React Native Xcode projects all now have Apple TV build targets, with names ending in the string '-tvOS'.

• react-native init: New React Native projects created with react-native init will have Apple TV target automatically created in their XCode projects.

The out-of-tree page seems to still have some incorrect info, which should be corrected in PR #2308.

The info in the tvOS tab still seems to have information like this:

@brodybits True, but before those bullets you can see a notice that Android TV part of documentation is deprecated.

Do you think it will be better to remove the whole Android TV content? It is not what we usually do, for example Geolocoation has been removed from the core in 0.60, but the docs content is still in there - https://reactnative.dev/docs/geolocation.
