Wish they had gone through with it. The app is just a front-end that sends requests to the server, presumably the server is where authentication happens (otherwise everyone could just pull up dev tools on their desktop and become insta-mods of any sub with a few tweaks). That being said, if it was a server-side bug, then they have a big problem; otherwise it's just little more than a graphical error.
Broken authorization is absurdly common, especially if they involve graphQl. I wouldn't be surprised if it worked.
