Was the Desktop app just deprecated?

I get this when starting the Windows app now:

 

Of course I still have a perfectly running system, so is the Desktop app now officially deprecated? Pretty sure it was working a few days ago.
When this message first appeared there was a More Options button, and using that I did Reset this app. Which was clearly a mistake.

Figured it out: after resetting the app the S2 app was finding my S1 devices and getting confused. After running around the house pulling the power on every S1 device, doing another App Reset, AND deleting the localsettings.txt file (which still had my S1 deets even after the app reset) its all back now. Painful.

FYI I just reset my desktop controller and it comes back as normal and finds my system.

I use the official desktop app as the Gold Standard, if I can do the same thing as it, with a better, more modern UX, then my job is done.
