Subject: [PATCH] Fix TypeScript-only syntax in docs snippets embedded as
 JavaScript

Platform docs review (G01): EmbeddedCode blocks labeled javascript on
non-sports pages (files, message-persistence, app-context, mobile-push,
presence, channel-groups basic-usage snippets, plus message-persistence.ts
and presence.ts) failed node --check because catch blocks used
`(error as PubNubError).status` casts, and a couple of snippets used
`(channel: string) =>` parameter annotations and a `file!` non-null
assertion. Replace the cast-based status message with a plain
`console.error(`<op>: ${error}`)`, drop the now-unused PubNubError import,
remove the two type annotations, and restructure the React Native download
snippet so it never needs a non-null assertion. `npm run test:snippets`
(tsc --project docs-snippets/tsconfig.json --noEmit) still passes, and
every affected snippet region now also passes node --check.
