Subject: [PATCH] revert(ios): drop SwiftUICore weak-link plugin (broke tvOS,
 no iOS fix)

The -weak_framework SwiftUICore approach did NOT resolve the iOS 26 'cannot link directly with SwiftUICore' link error (auto-linked by a precompiled SwiftUI pod - @expo/ui and/or react-native-glass-effect-view, both in use), and it broke the tvOS TopShelf target (no SwiftUICore on tvOS). Restores tvOS unsigned to green. iOS phone still blocked on the SwiftUICore autolink issue - likely tied to useFrameworks:static + @expo/ui on iOS 26; needs a macOS build to iterate. [unsigned: GPG unavailable while away]
