ReactNativeJS: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: error

**Describe the bug**

Using `transform-remove-console` triggers `ReactNativeJS: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: error` only on production build

**To Reproduce**
My babel.config.js file:
```
const plugins = ["react-native-paper/babel"];
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "production") {
plugins.push(["transform-remove-console"]);
}

module.exports = {
presets: ["module:metro-react-native-babel-preset"],
plugins: plugins
};

```

**Actual Output**

This produces the following error when the app opens:
```
ReactNative: ReactInstanceManager.createReactContext()
ReactNative: Initializing React Xplat Bridge.
ReactNative: Initializing React Xplat Bridge before initializeBridge
ReactNative: Initializing React Xplat Bridge after initializeBridge
ReactNative: CatalystInstanceImpl.runJSBundle()
ReactNative: ReactInstanceManager.setupReactContext()
ReactNative: CatalystInstanceImpl.initialize()

```
and then the app crashes immediately.

This is not happening on development build if i add the same transform plugin in development mode.
Also, this is not happening when i add `{ exclude: ["error", "warn"] }` options to the transform plugin

```

Start with the reported babel.config.js configuration and reproduce the production build using transform-remove-console, comparing it with development and with the error/warn exclusions. Done means the production app opens without the reported ReferenceError while the intended console removal behavior remains intact.
