Summary:
In Xcode 26 (xcodestaging), NSString.UTF8String is annotated as returning a nullable pointer (const char * _Nullable). When this value is passed directly to C++ methods that expect const char * _Nonnull, the compiler emits -Wnullable-to-nonnull-conversion warnings which are promoted to errors via -Werror. This causes a build failure in xplat/executorch/extension/apple:ExecuTorch that blocks downstream test targets including BSLInspirationActionsTests owned by edits_workflows_ios.

The fix adds ?: "" (nil-coalescing to empty string) at each call site where methodName.UTF8String or similar is passed to a C++ API expecting a non-null pointer. Since the methodName parameters are already typed as nonnull NSString *, the fallback is defensive only — it satisfies the compiler nullability analysis without changing runtime behavior.
