Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/43323
This fixes a seemingly pre-existent misconfiguration within our `test_ios_template` E2E test setup in CircleCI.
**Background**
We call `npx react-native-community/cli init` with the `--skip-install` flag, as part of the bootstrapping logic in `scripts/e2e/init-template-e2e.js`. This is necessary because we later want to explicitly call `npm install` with a custom `--registry` for our locally mirrored packages (via Verdaccio).
For some reason, we were observing unexpected differences when this was run under CircleCI:
1. Runs `yarn init`
2. Runs a `yarn add` (unknown pkg)

This is causing a Yarn-based install ahead of where we want — ignoring the `--skip-install` flag.
*I'm still unsure on the exact LOC cause in CLI* (but most likely, it's around the Yarn v3 move).
**Impact of this fix**
- The above meant that, when we were bootstrapping `test_ios_template` previously, packages weren't being read from Verdaccio, but **instead from npm** — using the `"0.74.0"` versions from the *previous branch cut* ❌.
- After D54006327, this behaviour became breaking 💀 — since for the 0.74 -> 0.75 cut, we no longer physically published `"0.75.0-main"` (new format) packages to npm.
**This change**
I'm passing `--pm npm` to `npx react-native-community/cli init` to skip around any Yarn behaviour. This appears to have removed the erroneous `yarn` invocations ✅.
