What issue are you seeing?
On iPad, the ChatGPT app freezes when opening a Codex remote conversation/thread detail.
The remote conversation list loads successfully. The freeze happens after tapping into a conversation/thread detail from that list.

- Open the Codex remote conversation list in the ChatGPT app.

I am having the exact same issue but with iPad (ChatGPT → Codex) connecting to Codex Desktop setup (MacOS). Also, works perfectly fine on iOS.
I'm seeing exact the same issue when I'm connecting from iPad to Codex desktop on Mac mini.
iOS ChatGPT app is working fine.
