Description

the screen recordings are nice to have for forensics, but not an indicator of whether the test run itself is succeeding

at same time screen recording setup apperas to fail 3-4% of the time and is now one of the most significant sources of flakiness, so continue if that's the only problem

This should take our iOS CI flakiness down from approx 3/30 or 10% to approx 2/30 or 6-7%, a worthwhile win

Test Plan

it's all determined via iterative / flake-hammer style runs on iOS and Other, but here is the most recent example of this failure: https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/actions/runs/17370625894/job/49305461304

not sure how this could be undefined but something caused it to crash
in a CI run, avoiding the crash now. The test would fail in practice
if it did not crash, and then potentially retry
