Remove duplicate codegen spec for video compression

[jpancotti]

Summary

This PR addresses an issue where iOS builds were failing due to duplicate symbols. The root cause was traced to the presence of two separate codegen specs in the package.json file: RNCompressorSpec and RNVideoCompressorSpec.

It appears that the RNCompressorSpec is sufficient to generate the necessary native code for both image and video compression. The separate RNVideoCompressorSpec was causing duplication in the generated code, leading to build failures.

This change simplifies the package configuration without compromising functionality. It's recommended to thoroughly test this change across different React Native versions and build configurations to ensure there are no unintended side effects.

Changelog

• Removed the RNVideoCompressorSpec entry from the codegenConfig in package.json

Test Plan

• Tested iOS builds before and after the change using React Native 74.0
• Verified that image and video compression still work as expected

@jpancotti can you confirm if it has backward compatibility or not ?

I apply this change using yarn patch to our [email protected]-based app and I can confirm that the iOS build is working again.

any plan on merging it soon? that would be amazing.
thank you for the patch on the other hand!

On the other hand, I almost having 6 duplicate symbols, and when I export the logs I see:

should I further edit the package.json?
Your help would be very appreciated :)

EDIT: actually the patch wasn't taken into account for some reason; had to rimraf my node module, reinstall and all good, thanks guys!

Confirming I have the same issue after upgrading to Expo 52 (project is building after I apply the patch)
