This technically breaks the attaching of the logs into the Sentry reports, but doesn't break the core functionality and we can re-attach later once we define a new app group.

This didn't fix the transfer issue. We use an API for app groups in two places: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3AOutlineFoundation%2Foutline-apps%20appgroup&type=code

I wonder if we need to remove those API calls too.
