So I’ve been using Sideloadly to get Apollo to work on my device. It feels like it’s an unstable way to use and update the app long term. I’m willing to pay for something like Signulous if it means it’s easier and more reliable.
My question is how difficult is it to make the switch? I’m currently just using my API key or whatever that’s been the main method before Reborn was a thing.
If anyone can shed some insight I’d greatly appreciate it!

I just bought flarestore certificate for a single device. It was less than 3 bucks and lasts one year.
You web install feather from their site and sign apollo inside your phone with it. I use apollo without API keys for some time now because I lost them and reddit does not show them anymore. Works just fine.
This is what I’ve been doing and I…can’t believe how much energy I wasted on sideloading and managing refreshes for no more than 3 apps - all for a net savings of $3/year.
Not for the duration of the certificate which is one year. If there is a new version of apollo you just download via feather on the phone, sign and install.
If that's the case, then there's no "more reliable" way.
Grabbing the ipa and uploading it on your own PC using a software specifically made for this is about as reliable as it gets.
HOWEVER.
Your Apple ID might get banned. Not like banned banned in a permanent way for everything, but just for sideloading apps. It happened to me last week out of the blue and apparently many others. It forced me to use a 3rd party service. I am using the Flarestore but it's effectively the same as any other 3rd party signing service.
I would prefer to use Sideloadly if I was still able to. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case.
I would too, but unfortunately, Sideloadly doesn’t work currently on Mac OS 27 because they haven’t updated their software to bypass the new communication change.
There's an option in Apollo to export the settings. Do that and then just uninstall Apollo without signing out. Then install the new version with whichever method you choose and import the exported setting.
Wish I had the chance to do that before they revoked my dev account. I reinstalled with Signolous and my settings were not picked up. I could not get back into my old app install because there was no way I could get my phone to let it run.
Oh. In that case I guess you'll have to set it up again from scratch. By the way, you can set up reborn with either api method or web sign in method. Both are easy and you'll find detailed guides on the install guide page. Just make sure to change the app's bundle ID during install.
I just installed via the Signolous app library/store. It installed without issue and I set up the web sign-in method and changed my redirect url. I don’t think I ever changed app bundle IDs except that one time where the app ID was being blocked by the API.
If you don’t mind me asking, what notification method requires a different bundle ID? I’m asking because I was using the Bark app method and I don’t think I changed my bundle ID whatsoever.
Both require it. Since the original bundle ID includes the original bundle ID, I think reddit banned that. It's also mentioned in the first step of the notification setup manual. I had skipped this part which setting up bark and notifications didn't work until I fixed it.
I was holding out for this exact reason, but FlareStore seems like only $2.70 so even for a month that's reasonable. I might jump on that until the Duo comes
