I did and got this in reply, this morning:
Hi thanks for your question. They have squeezelite in the firmware so Lyrion will work.

Hi thanks for your question. They have squeezelite in the firmware so Lyrion will work.
Anyone noticed a curious change to all the W-generation speakers information on the Audio Pro websites ...... The word Wiim is now glaringly absent..... Or is it just me seeing this?
Something to do with the imminent launch of the Wiim Sound speakers?

I think you may be right - like you, I seem to recall “WiiM-powered” or suchlike being mentioned but there’s no trace of that there now. Or maybe the magazine articles did.
If I were WiiM, I’d not be too happy about the timing of their launch nor the association with WiiM in their advertising. But who knows?
Edit: you can still see the mention of WiiM in the press release in your original post, but no mention if you now open that page.

Audio Pro still is advertising many WIim features
"It has new features such as advanced EQ, room correction, WiFi timing synchronization, new streaming services and more frequent firmware updates."
Given the on-going relationship between Linkplay, Wiim and Audio Pro this whole role out seems pretty amateurish on both sides. For now, I would not buy speakers from either Wiim or Audio Pro until this is strengthened out.

Even the press release has changed
"A brand new app, new sound and a refined design. A new chapter from the award-winning Swedish speaker brand begins..."
It was
If Audio Pro is using Wiim software there should be an agreement between the two as to what they will advertise and what they will not. That should be standard in any deal between 2 companies. If Wiim did not have that, it was a pretty sloppy deal. If they did and Audio Pro violated that then that could influence a long term relationship. Somebody screwed up here and there is a possibility of a long term problem. Maybe it was simply an oversight, but if so it was a big one. I spend years doing product launches and this type of mistake/change should never happen.
By the way, Wiim's name is still in one of the product descriptions.

Users on the Audio Pro Facebook group are complaining that the new WiiM app can't access older Audio Pro speakers as it used to, while I'm finding the new Audio Pro W app can see but not connect to WiiM devices. Rather scuppers the interoperability of these Linkplay compatible devices if that is the case, and bad news for those WiiM users who have been using original Audio Pro speakers alongside their WiiM devices.
@RyanWithWiiM, @WiiM Support , @WiiM Team - guys, is this the case that interoperabilty between Wiim and Audio Pro or other Linkplay based devices has been deprecated?

Apparently so:
Post in thread 'WiiM Home App v3.3.5 Update – Sep 16, 2025' https://forum.wiimhome.com/threads/wiim-home-app-v3-3-5-update-–-sep-16-2025.8143/post-147795
Wrote to feedback asking them to go back.
Wiim posted this on Facebook. Not much detail and not sure about the "mistake" comment.
"Hi Team, we'll resume the support to the existing audio pro devices in the WiiM Home App in our next release. Please stay tuned! BTW, it's done by mistakes."

Is the Audio Pro W series non-existant?Does that mean that the new Audio Pro W speakers will not be supported in the WiiM app? Will only the existing devices be supported?

Currently I think it is.
Only in some strange metaphysical sense
They’ve been announced but not yet available.
Not in the US certainly - The fact they're missing from the US Audio Pro website would seem to hint at that
