Subject: [PATCH] Remove __DEV__ stubs for previously-removed legacy modules
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Summary:
The following modules were removed from `react-native` core years ago: `AsyncStorage`, `ImagePickerIOS`, `ProgressViewIOS`, `DatePickerIOS`, and `Slider`. Until now, accessing them from `react-native` triggered a `__DEV__`-only invariant that threw a helpful error directing users to the community package replacement.

Enough release cycles have passed that the friendly invariant is no longer needed. This commit removes the five `Object.defineProperty(module.exports, …)` blocks from `index.js`, along with the wrapping `if (__DEV__) { … }` shell and the now-unused `invariant` import.

After this change, accessing one of these names from `react-native` returns `undefined` (matching the behavior of any other non-exported name).

Replacement packages, for reference:
- `AsyncStorage` → `react-native-async-storage/async-storage`
- `ImagePickerIOS` → `react-native-image-picker` or `expo-image-picker`
- `ProgressViewIOS` → `react-native-community/progress-view`
- `DatePickerIOS` → `react-native-community/datetimepicker`
- `Slider` → `react-native-community/slider`
