Fix CloudSyncValidatorTests for updated error messages

Update test assertions to match refactored error message format in
ValidateForLink and ValidateForPush methods after Android/iOS support
was added. Error messages now use a more descriptive format indicating
the detected local format instead of just listing file types.

Also includes documentation updates for Android/iOS support in README,
docs/CONFIGURATION.md, vscode-extension/README.md, and cloud www docs.

+## Multi-Format Support
 
-> **Beyond .NET:** With JSON and i18next support, LRM becomes a universal localization tool for **React, Vue, Angular, Node.js**, and any project using JSON resources.
+> **Beyond .NET:** LRM is a universal localization tool supporting **React, Vue, Angular, Node.js, Android, iOS**, and any project using JSON or platform-specific resources.

+**The Killer Combo:** Multi-format support + 10 translation providers = automated multilingual apps in any ecosystem.
 
-```bash
-# Auto-translate your React/Vue/Angular app to 5 languages
-lrm translate --provider google --to fr,de,es,it,ja --path ./locales
-```
+### Supported Formats
 
-**Why JSON?**
-- **Human-readable** - Edit directly in any text editor, no special tools needed
-- **Git-friendly** - Clean diffs and easy merge conflict resolution
-- **Nested structure** - Organize keys hierarchically (`Errors.NotFound`, `Navigation.Home`)
-- **Universal** - Works with any framework, any language, any platform
+| Format | File Pattern | Use Case |
+|--------|-------------|----------|
+| **.resx** | `Resources.resx`, `Resources.fr.resx` | .NET applications |
+| **JSON** | `strings.json`, `strings.fr.json` | Web apps, Node.js |
+| **i18next** | `en.json`, `fr.json` | React, Vue, Angular |
+| **Android** | `res/values/strings.xml`, `res/values-fr/strings.xml` | Android apps |
+| **iOS** | `en.lproj/Localizable.strings`, `fr.lproj/Localizable.strings` | iOS/macOS apps |
 
-**Two Formats Supported:**
-- **Standard JSON** - `.json` files with nested keys and CLDR plural markers (`_plural: true`)
-- **i18next** - Full compatibility with suffix-based plurals (`items_one`, `items_other`) for React, Vue, Angular, Node.js
+### Quick Start by Platform
 
-**For .NET Developers:**
-The `LocalizationManager.JsonLocalization` NuGet package is a drop-in replacement for `IStringLocalizer<T>` - migrate from .resx with one command:
 ```bash
-lrm convert --from resx --to json --path ./Resources
+# Initialize Android project
+lrm init --format android --languages es,fr,de
+
+# Initialize iOS project
+lrm init --format ios --languages es,fr,de
+
+# Auto-translate your React/Vue/Angular app
+lrm translate --provider google --to fr,de,es,it,ja --path ./locales
+
+# Auto-translate Android app
+lrm translate --provider google --to es,fr --path ./app/src/main/res
 ```
 
+### Android Support
+- **Folder structure:** `res/values/strings.xml` (default), `res/values-es/strings.xml` (Spanish)
+- **Full support for:** `<string>`, `<plurals>`, `<string-array>`
+- **Comments and `translatable="false"` preserved**
+
+### iOS Support
+- **Folder structure:** `en.lproj/Localizable.strings`, `es.lproj/Localizable.strings`
+- **Full support for:** `.strings` and `.stringsdict` (plurals)
+- **Comments preserved in standard iOS format**
