Lock React version to ~18.2.0 (#1148)

* lock React version to ~18.2.0

React 19 and React 18.3 are out (https://react.dev/blog/2024/04/25/react-19-upgrade-guide#react-18-3), but the React Native ecosystem is still on React 18.2.
We need to lock the versions down until the React Native packages update.

* 💩 Temporarily pin the version to 14.1 so that the CI is successful

#1148 (comment)

* 💩 Revert back even further to xcode 14

Consistent with
#1148 (comment)

* 📌 Ensure that we are using the correct version of java

Before this, we set only the `JAVA_HOME` to pin the java version
This was working until a couple of days ago, when, even after setting the
version, the java version was not changed.

This may be due to the location for the java executable changing, so let's try
to set the PATH as well

Also print out several environment variables to help debug further

* 📌 Pin the mac version to 13

To be consistent with
#1148 (comment)

Before we fix
e-mission/e-mission-docs#1060

* 📌 Pin the mac version to 13

Consistent with
#1148 (comment)
and
b5072f3 (for iOS)

* ⏪️ Revert previous attempts to fix the issue

since pinning to OSX-13 fixed it
#1148 (comment)

* 📌 Pin the xcode version again

Because apparently the default version, even on the OSX 13 runner, is now xcode 15

* Ensure that the switch command is run as root
