Describe the bug

React bridge breaks when used with React 16 versions earlier than React 16.13.0. React 16.13.0 introduced the version prop (https://github.com/facebook/react/releases/tag/v16.13.0) which react-bridge uses in the isReact18 check:

const isReact18 = ReactDOM.version.startsWith("18");

When using React 16.12.0 this checks fails with:

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'startsWith')
