It would be nice to provide some API for toggling between light and dark theme on devices:

Android: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/232271/setting-android-10-dark-theme-on-and-off-with-adb-shell-how-to-do-it-without-r
```
adb shell "cmd uimode night yes"
adb shell "cmd uimode night no"
```

iOS:

xcrun simctl ui booted appearance light
xcrun simctl ui booted appearance dark

Thanks @noomorph! I think we need to try to dig up a simpler solution for Android specifically because:

It's about changing the setting on the device; The effect on the app is not necessarily inherent, and the gap could potentially add noise that is more attributed to functionality testing rather than the desired visibility+layout testing, as with the case of screenshot-testing (which typically dark-mode switching is for).
It requires a device restart.
