QA'd #67881, checking off

[Julesssss]

Hey @jasperhuangg, as mentioned here we'll be reverting the big mobile signin page changes. We resolved the early reported issues, but some more were reported. This will need to be done tomorrow as there are many changes across Mobile-Expensify and App with recent additions that prevent a simple revert from being prepared. This should resolve the following:

• [Due for payment 2025-09-04] Android - User signed out of app when updating to '9.1.89-7' #67949
• Android - App is stuck on splash screen when switching from ND to OD and back to ND #67939
• [Due for payment 2025-09-04] [RCA #65178] iOS - App opens OD with no email ID and crashes in Settings after logging in via public room #67848
• Email - The invited user redirects to the Home page instead of the created room #67920
