feat: Refactor error handling and release creation in workflow

Refined the error handling in the Github Actions workflow to display a warning message instead of terminating the process unexpectedly. Additionally, improved the API call to create a release in Github. It now checks for a name attribute in the returned URL, hence ensuring that the release creation call is performed properly even if no previous release with the same version exists.
