There are other quality issue with ATSUI. (with size < 12 as in my earily mail).
It is true Apple do not have a good migration story about ATSUI. They don't even
have a good migration story for TSM 1.0 application to TSM 1.5 application. I
mean they said what need to be done, without giving enough sampel for the code
migration or co-exist (support binary which can run both on TSM 1.0 and 1.5)

That is really my question- which Apple application use ATSUI, TSM 1.5 or MLTE.
