We can add UNUSED_PARAM(sessionID) in this case, but [[maybe_unused]] is more correct choice to describe the code because sessionID is actually used.
In this case you could use RELEASE_LOG_DISABLED but I agree [[maybe_unused]] would be better. I’m ok with it as long as all the ports are OK with it, including support in their oldest supported compiler.

I think it would be better to put #if PLATFORM(COCOA) around member variables like this because I don’t think [[maybe_unused]] will remove the additional byte in the structure. Otherwise we’re just wasting memory.
