With GitHub Actions, the time taken is a lot. That too, the docker environment is not having enough RAM for the Detox test to even able to launch the app. It's not worth it to use GitHub Actions for this because of all this - even if they're free.

For a very long time now, e2e tests on mobile has been very unreliable and eventually we have gotten into the habit of ignoring the circleci test results.
This PR takes this problem head on. I have found out:
This is a draft PR at the moment and I have introduced Detox as an alternative to Appium. The detox tests will run on iOS Simulator or Android Emulator and they can just directly be run on CI.
