3/ With Composer-1 I finally felt fully engaged again! No "sit back and wait" moments that kill your momentum. Its intelligence is around same as GPT-5 (which is dumber than Sonnet), but the speed is everything!

Subscriptions reappeared. The app worked again.
Apple support never responded (still hasn’t about this issue).
The review passed a few days later, but we ditched that release.

What we learned:
