react-native-sim-cards-manager

A new library that merge multiple sim cards libraries into a single one:

• https://github.com/markneh/react-native-esim
• https://github.com/pocesar/react-native-sim-data

Bridges have been adapted, so you will have to adapt your code if you come from one of those libraries.

Bugs fixed and some improvements have been made.
