Earliest edX Named Release Without This Functionality

These changes aren’t tied to an Open edX release and are only dependent on Mobile releases as mentioned below:
Android Release 4.0.2
iOS Release 3.2.5

Rationale

As a mobile code improvement, we need to remove the deprecated/unused feature flags from Mobile Config as decided in LEARNER-8703

Removal

The following flags will no longer be available for development.

1. TAB_LAYOUTS_ENABLED
2. SECRET flag under BRANCH {Dict}
3. ZERO_RATING
4. SOCIAL_SHARING
5. IAP_ENABLED
6. API_KEY flag under YOUTUBE_PLAYER {Dict}

Replacement

The detailed description can be found on the relative Wikis on Open edX confluence and 2U confluence.

Deprecation

No response

Migration

No response

Additional Info

After a detailed spike on both platforms (Android & iOS) in LEARNER-8703, we decided to remove the mentioned flags from Android & iOS and will be rolled out in the coming releases.

@omerhabib26 It'd be nice if you can mention that this change isn't tied to an Open edX release and would depend on the Android App's Release version as well as iOS's under the section:

Also under Additional Info, I think it would make sense to have the ticket link again.
